Pricing with no receipt

[mickyc]

I personally don't see the big deal. We hired a guy for a few weekends to help my husband, paid in cash. I doubt he claimed it.

When I was a teen and babysat I never claimed it either.

I think there is a big difference in someone opening a daycare and not claiming her income compared to a mom looking after her friends kids and getting a bit of cash as compensation. Yes it may be "against the law" but I can guarantee have all "broke the law" at one point or another in some aspect of our life.

Each to their own. As a parent I would want the tax receipt so would not use someone that wouldn't give one.

For those who say report! Well that is what is wrong with society these days IMO. Too many people putting their noses in other peoples business.

What is wrong, is that too many people think the are above the law and the rest of us, pay double for their views.

Three children being looked after is above the level some province allow. So whether it Mom or daycare provider, it is an income equal to an above board provider.

It reason like this home day care have bad name.

Here, a provider just closed down by Community Service. She have 15 children in her care, We allowed 7. But hey, she was just a mom looking after kids trying to earn a buck.

Another provider on mat leave, refused receipts to her clients because she earned more than $50 a week on top of mat pay. She also closed her door Friday, texted client on Saturday and began new job on Monday. But hey, she was just a mom looking after kids trying to earn a buck.

One more - agency approved this time. Caught out the week before March break when parent come early for child. Door unlocked, parent walk in to find own daughter (age 2) trying to put on shoes to go home. Two 3 year olds wondering around house too. Where was carer? Down road, meeting own kids off school bus. Didn't see parent pull up because of snow bank. But hey, she was just a mom looking after kids trying to earn a buck.

Wouldn't want to report anyone for putting kids at risk, for tax fraud, for being deceptive to parent wanting tax credit. No need to anyone to step up when kids at risk. Would not want to be viewed as nosy after all.

Let's all turn blind eye to rapist, murderer, tax dodger, thief, benefit fraud. After all, not affect us if these people on streets, artificially inflating costs for the honest folk.
