Provider refusing to issue a tax receipt without my SIN #

[Suzie_Homemaker]

My son sent this. He said to sent to her. FB message or e-mail is fine but in writing.


Dear CLIENT NAME

I have contacted Canada Revenue Agency in order to find out how to claim my child care costs without having to supply you with my SIN. They have advised me that it is not my SIN number required on a receipt but yours. Along with your address, full name and signature. The CRA agent mailed me the attached Guide for Home Based Child Care Providers to confirm what a tax receipt must include. The CRA Guide is attached.

With that misunderstanding cleared up, please forward my tax receipt for the 2 months of child care provided and paid for. This should have been received by end of last month at the latest.

CRA have asked me to call them back in the event this is not received by the end of the week so they can investigate from their end.

It is a bit of a bluff in the sense CRA are unlikely to help unless she is reported for tax fraud. But hopefully, once she knows that you know it's her SIN not yours that is required, she might panic and issue your receipt. If she was planning on not declaring the income, then she might be worried about being audited.

Thanks so much Suzie_Homemaker. I texted her the message and received no response. I think she might be planning on not declaring the payments I made. My next step will be to send her a registered letter and hopefully, with a copy of her texts refusing to issue a receipt and asking me for my SIN, as well as the copies of the cheques I wrote to her, I can submit the amount to my accountant. I feel like I'm going to be penalized for her lack of honesty.
