That seems unfair though. We have to claim and PAY tax on all fees but they don't claim all fees. If they don't or can't claim it then why should we pay tax on it.
Because all income is declared to CRA otherwise it's fax fraud. But the child care tax credit for parent is to assist with cost of child care when they working/in school, not the cost of being disorganised in their timing or financial matters.
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.
