Hi Quami,
I wanted to hire my sister as nanny for my 9 y/o daughter. I am in the process of completing the job offer form.
When I applied for my BN, the agent did not ask for my husband’s info, so in the end it is only my name in the business registration. Is that ok? I am also confused if I have to write the annual income or not. Please help.
Thank you,
That is fine , but only YOU will be able to call in and request information or make changes on the account . The agent made the account as a Sole Proprietorship versus a Partnership, with your husband on it
If you want your husband authorized on it you’ll need to submit a RC59 to the CRA and give him Level 2 authorization on the account to change and get information on the account
If you don’t need him on it , leave it as is
Annual income ? On what ?
Agent should of asked an estimate on how much you’ll pay the caregiver gross for one year
Note ; once you no longer have a caregiver it’s EXTREMELY important to call the CRA and close it, it’s a tax account and you’d want to treat it as such, also become aware of your responsibilities regarding remittances, filing on time . Not knowing is not a valid excuse the CRA will take
