    Claiming Used Items

    i just saw a post with a similar question but I thought I would create a new topic to help others who may have my question.

    I am a kijiji-aholic and buy almost nothing new. I started my daycare in April and I have bought 90% of my stuff used from yard sales or kijiji (or even free). The other 10% is stuff my son had been given that is used for daycare purposes (eg, his highchair, playpen, bumbo, toys, booster seat....again, these were all baby shower gifts I would not have reciepts for)

    I know now that I should have written out reciepts by hand like where I bought an item from, address of the yard sale, or something, but I have nothing in paper!!

    Do I guess on prices I paid if I cannot remember, or just state "yard sale, Kingston ON" if I cannot remember addresses of those yard sales?

    Any idea on how I will be able to make some claims come tax time??

    Many thanks ;P

    I just make a note in my accounting ledger that I bought it and what I paid for it. Then at tax time I claim whatever I paid at the time.

A few tips...

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.
Updates
We expect providers to keep their listing and available openings up-to-date. However, to prevent oversights, openings expire after 45 days.
