Trying to be nice !!!

[Wonderwiper]

Haha Mimi, evil but I like it!!

Wonderwiper, for me I would charge for the inconvenience. I have given you a receipt, you should be responsible enough to not loose it. Plus now I have extra paperwork to hand in to my accountant as well. It's not a HUGE inconvenience but if you are writing out duplicate receipts multiple times it would get annoying quickly. (at least to me, but I have no patience lol) Also, some people give out their SIN number (which I do NOT do and do NOT recommend but to each their own) and if you lost your receipt with my name and SIN on it I would be ticked off!

I don't know so these are just my assumptions/guesses..please correct me if I'm wrong!! 1. email receipts are probably fine but if the family gets audited would they not need a hard copy receipt or can they just print off your email? 2. photocopies could be not accepted because if a couple is divorced can only one parent claim the childcare? Photocopies would essentially allow both parents to claim it? If you know the answer to these questions please let me know

Hi! Thanks for answering...none of those things ever occurred to me!

I give a yearly receipt only so no paperwork at all. I make a little Word file that gives parents the total for the year. They can print it off if they want or if they use an accountant. It doesn't matter how many copies there are, the receipt has the child's name on it, not the parents. If divorced parents tried to both claim, that would be their fraud problem not yours. A similar example would be the receipts I get for activities my daughter is registered for. They email me a receipt as I can claim for the child fitness tax credit. I can print 20 copies but that doesn't mean I can claim 20 activities.

DH is an accountant and I asked him about your question this morning to double check what I thought.
