The tax worksop I did at the CCPRN with an accountant said the "rule" is if it costs over $300 and is used for more than 1yr then it uses the depreciated value method. If it is less than $300 or won't last for 1yr then you just use it as supplies.
They also said that during your opening year you don't use the depreciated value for items purchased to get started...I need to confirm this but I am hopeful it is true as I opened this year.
Yes Lee-Bee the first year is different with respect to start up costs but both accountants I used specialized in home daycares and they both told me the figure was $200
Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
