Parent asking for too much information?

[Suzie_Homemaker]

As for the SIN number I never ever give that out to anyone at anytime. All clients will get is a yearly receipt with my signature. I claim everything on my end and I have never had a problem. This is my first year doing daycare but in the past I did do childcare here and there and it was treated the same way.

Parent need SIN on their tax receipt for them to claim child care tax credit. Without your SIN, they cannot claim.

It requirement of CRA.

Only way around is to register business and get business number (BIN) to include on receipt instead.

No you don't. |I never give out SIN number. I have claimed on my end and families have always gotten their return. I even asked my accountant what they need and he even confirmed that don't need my SIN number so I never give it out unless they really need it. It's not safe to be giving your SIN number out like that.

Even when I had my youngest in a home daycare all I asked/got was a receipt with a signature on it and had no problem getting a return.

There is a post somewhere on hear where giving out SIN numbers was the topic and many don't.

I also don't give my SIN out. This is my 6th year. Only ever had two parents ask for it so I provided it. But I don't give it out and nothing has ever been said. I claim they claim every yr.

I definitely would NOT give out any personal info especially your SIN, I've never given it out and it has never been an issue in 9 years. This person could be a scammer, beware!
