MemberAs far as i know we as parents do have to become employers. only for the therapists as you said the ots etc are usually self employed. I know that familys recieving the ieii funding have to become employers.
MemberPerhaps the question you ought to ask, for which I do not have the answer, is:
Can I set up a "disclaimer-agreement" to be signed by myself and by my therapist that states that the individual ABA-therapist will be the one to be responsible for reporting earned income for the duration of our contractual-employment agreement?
Would such a disclaimer "cover" the parents(the employers) from any sort of WCB, EI, etc. responsibilities so that the obligation to report the income is left to the therapist and all the parent has to do is pay for services rendered?
I think that is the question that is raised here, …I think!! Maybe not! :o)
MemberPerhaps I am dense but information about whether ABA therapy is tax deductable does not help me determine what is to done with individual therapists. I know that other therapists like speech and occupational opperate under private contracts, provide their own insurance and coverage and file their own gst numbers. Is it reasonable to expect individual therapist to do the same or are parents expected to set themselves up as employers? At the Autism 2002 Conference, Dr. Doug Lee aluded to the fact that that this in practice is not done. Am I mistaken?
MemberMy question in the tax issue is: who is responsible for reporting the earnings? Is it the individual therapist, or must parents set themselves up as employers, contributing to WCB, CPP, and EI? I know that this is the "offical" interpretation but I wonder how often this actually occures.
MemberRE: Income tax.
This is really simple: if you earn money, you must pay your taxes. Tax evasion is a criminal offence and for good reason.
I was going to go on an enormous rant about people who don't pay their taxes, but looking back at the original post it seems this was an innocent, if misguided, question.
Answer: YES. Everyone from Gene to the Queen pays taxes, and not even ABA therapists are exempt.
MemberHello, this is directed at ABA therapists, but anyone with info is welcome to reply.
I was wondering how other therapists deal with income tax, do they pay or not? Please send me an email with your ideas or how you deal with this issue.
Will we be hunted down by the Tax Man in a few years for not paying or declaring income?
Im a bit confused. Thanks
