This is incorrect. It is only required if you want subsidy.
- brnt 4y agoWhich nearly everyone wants, since the daycare cost for two kids can easily be an average salary.
- jsiepkes 4y ago> since the daycare cost for two kids can easily be an average salary Not if your parents baby-sit your kids. And that's the scenario where this is all about. People were already bringing their kids to their parents and then someone said: "We found a loophole how you can get free money for your baby-sitting parent who aren't getting paid. We'll just pretend they get paid.".
- brnt 4y agoI dont know of anyone having their parents babysit 5 days a week, but OK, you're not supposed to do that for one day either. How does that even work though, you need to provide a document from a registered daycare showing the number of days a week you're buying. Parents obviously can't provide this document.
