Child Care Receipts

[baileybug]

When you ask a home childcare provider if they will provide a tax receipt, and there answer is: "I will give you a monthly invoice"... Is that the same thing? Can you use your monthly invoices to claim the amounts on your taxes towards the childcare credit?

It has to have their SIN on the receipt if they are babysitting from home.

A receipt is different than an invoice, I believe - at least where I work it is.

An invoice is a document that shows how much you owe. A receipt is a document that shows that you DID pay and how much.

This is an easily 15 minute discussion, and probably more with your questions.

Figure out who I am and call me.

We get monthly receipts and then submit those along with the care providers name, address and social insurance number and have had no issues with CRA.

The judge in my case (which I'm appealing) accepted my ex's hen scratch for almost 10,000, and excepted it as paid! No proof was need for him other than that. My lawyer argued against pointed to the law, he ignored that.

Was this a case conference or a trial? Was there any evidence that you had that she was deceiving? Was the amount reasonable?

In an actual trial you can call witnesses. I would hope the hell he would have subpoena'd the alleged "child care provider" to provide proof if it was a trial.

Double or nothing it's a case conference.

How much was that bet? It was at trial, and only produced, objected to, and accepted, by the trial judge,,,,nothing more than hen scratch, no receipts.

So why didn't you subpoena the alleged provider to have her confirm/deny in court the amounts if you did not believe them?

As I said it was presented during trial, we objected, the judge excepted, I asked about bringing in the daycare providers, there were approx 10, I wanted to bring in a couple of key providers, lawyer said it was not necessary, but again, this doc was submitted with no discovery, my lawyer thought there would be no way the judge would accept it, and is also another reason for appeal. My lawyer pointed to specific law, the judge ignored it.

We stated the the costs were not reasonable, as they were without receipts, and my children did not need full time day care, they're in school full time and part time. So basically she had full time care so she could do whatever and keep the children there for her convenience to do whatever! Meanwhile I could've picked them up and offered to do so on many occasion to avoid these extra costs, she would not agree. So for many days or hours the children sat with babysitters or daycare providers when they could've been with me. She didn't or couldn't have them and didn't want me too.

In fact at trial, when under cross, she admitted to sending the children with daycare providers or babysitter when she would go away, then when pointed out for one year that the children were with me for almost half the time for over a year, she stated and I quote, "yeah, and I made sure that won't happen again", this was at trial, the judge say nothing in his decision about this. Again, I am appealing, on this and other grounds, like case law being ignored, not mentioning our objections in his decisions, and so on.

We thought that the judge would look at this as the mother just doing whatever for whatever, and would not allow those costs, wrong!

Good lord. What was this justice?

Maybe you can get somewhat of an understanding of why I call this 'family law' system a racket.

I have no problem with the system when being used as needed, not just so someone sees the entitlements and take no consideration to the other party and what effects it may have on them or the children.

I know the system is bias towards fathers. But when I had a children's lawyer report in my favor for joint custody and equal access through parallel parenting the judge totally ignored her findings. I mean even for the access part of it. There would one day more than I have now per week that I would have my children, which would have wiped out an extra transfer (among other reasons) between the homes, which the children's lawyer said would be beneficial to the children, the judge ignored it. One day a week! What is the reasoning? I still do not know, because in his decision, he didn't state why!

It can only leave me to believe that the justice system that is supposed to be fair, is not, and is more interested in making someone pay, usually the father. This is a big money business, for the lawyers and the government, can you imagine one day if C 422 goes through, I think they're (government/lawyers) afraid of this bill, because in my opinion, a lot of the issues in front of the courts would practically dry up. I'm sure they're some that think or would disagree with me, but through my experience I am left with nothing other to think.

Maybe I just got a judge that was a sleep at the wheel, but from what I've read in here I'm far from alone in my thinking.
