Dear Sirs:
Re: Requirement to obtain a Social Insurance Number for Individuals under 18 Years
This is in reply to your letter dated May 7, 1990 wherein you requested information regarding the Department's administrative position in the application of subsection 162(6) of the Act to dependants under 19 years of age. While all individuals are required to provide their social insurance number to a person required under the Act or a regulation to make an information return requiring such a number, it is the Department's administrative practice that individuals under 18 years of age are not required to do so if their total income for the year is $2,500 or less.
We enclose a copy of Information Circular 82-2R which outlines this position in paragraph 11.
Yours truly,
for Director
Business and General Division
Specialty Rulings Directorate
Legislative and Intergovernmental
Affairs Branch
