Tax deduction on licensed vs. unlicensed home daycare
Do you get the same amount of tax deduction on both or which one is higher? I know I pay less fee upfront for licensed home daycare for children under 6 years. Will I save same amount on tax deduction if I got with an unlicensed home daycare? I live in Ontario for reference.

If your unlicensed daycare charges (pays) taxes and gives you a tax receipt then you can claim it but most unlicensed daycare’s don’t because they aren’t licensed. It’s good to ask specifically if they offer a tax receipt at the end of the year
@Jessica thank you. Yes they agreed to give me a tax receipt but what I'm looking for is if there would be a difference in tax deductions by going for one over the other.
