For those who need a tax break...

From the Record..

Looking for a Great Massage? The answer is Lotus Spa! Tax receipt available.

Nice! I will have to check on how much is covered by my insurance each year. That should be a big help getting me extra addicted.

Good find btw, someone posted about that a while back and I was waiting to abuse the system!

If something sounds too good to be true.... lol..
I thought they had to be RMT's in order to issue reciepts for insurance/tax purposes. Let me know how it goes.. then I will check it out

I went to Lotus Spa when it first opened and posted a review. One of the three ladies is apparently a RMT. She happens to be the least attractive one there... but I guess she's a RMT. It wouldn't surprise me to see the RMT do the actual massage and then another attendant comes in to finish the task at hand. I don't know this for sure... but I don't see any other possible way around her licensing. My first visit was enjoyable and yet quite surprising... but I never knew about the tax receipt option in order to ask for one.

Spoke to the MPA there today about receipts. She said every one hired there is registered and has their own number on the receipt issued along with the business GST#. Only thing is you need to put your real name down on the receipt in case insurance company calls them or something like that (small price to pay for a free massage basically). Anyhow, it appears very legit and Asian to boot!

Maybe... but registered in what?

Next time you're in... ask for some verfication and then ask whether some or all of the session fees are covered.

Will do sir. BTW only the timed portion of the session is covered. Tipping seems to be separate.

Will let you know when I get my first GOLDEN TICKET!

I went to this place today and trust me.. go here not to that POS I went to on Wed. Shes is a RMT for sure, the massage was great, I had a 45 min session. SHe is very friendly and talkative, you can understand her which is not surprising since she (Cindy) is Korean not Chinese. Tight body as was said, long hair.. great set of headlights...and again great massage..I did not do the receipt thing.. I am still alittle concerned about giving my name to them.. maybe after a few have done it I Will do it as well.. but over all well worth the money.. good massage and a nice lady.

Maybe it is just as well. Imagine a scenario where this spa has some form of legal problems - it happens lots in this industry; Some peace officer says something to friends or neighbors working at an insurance company; the insurance company starts investigating; your wife answers the phone when the insurance company calls to ask questions about the RMT massage you got at a rub and tug.

For my money, it is worth it to pay out of my own pocket, 'cause if the wifey finds out and splits (taking half), I won't be able to afford any rub & tug.

 

[Tee11]

true...not worth it!! there are better ways to get a tax break! lol

 

[CUTTERBUCK]

Because if the wifey finds out and splits (taking half), I won't be able to afford any Sp's.

Hmmmm, sounds VERY familar.

Mine already took it so I'm working on my half now. I'm going back (obviously) and asking if we can just leave our first name and fill out the rest ourselves.

I'm certainly gonna enjoy my half. BTW, what's half of nothing?
