im planning on opening an unlicenced home day care for january.
aside from the fun stuff like acquiring toys and whatnot, ive been doing lots of research and preparing paperwork - contracts, flyers, etc.
im a ER RN by trade... and i wont lie, give me a human body and im in my element. give me things like taxes and write offs and im so confused.
i have a few questions...
as an unlicenced HDC without a registered business, can I still write off purchases made for the HDC?
when providing receipts, do i charge my families tax?
ive read on this board that 20% should be safe to save aside for the theiving government? now if i dont want to pay into EI is that an option?
can i ask, what everyone is charging for full day care for children preschool aged?
when preparing to interview a potential family - other than a contract, resume, police check and references, as well as a childs info sheet (any special needs, diet, contact info, health card number, etc) should i provide any other type of paperwork?
is it necessary to have a fire inspection?
if you can as unlicenced, non registered HDC, write things off.... how do you determine what amount to write off. for example, would i have to record the price of gas that day that i filled up and then calculate kms to and from my destinations then record that as HDC related? what about internet (we are a cable free home, so can internet be substitued for cable?)

ill leave the questions at this for now. i really appreciate any info i can get
thanks ladies
