The Contractor Affidavit Form is a critical document in Canadian business relationships used to establish and verify independent contractor status, helping organizations maintain compliance with tax and employment laws. This document becomes necessary when organizations need to clearly distinguish contractors from employees, particularly during tax audits, legal reviews, or when establishing new business relationships. The affidavit includes sworn statements about business independence, service provision methods, tax compliance, and insurance coverage. It serves as a protective measure for both the hiring organization and the contractor by clearly documenting the nature of their business relationship. The document must be executed in accordance with Canadian federal and provincial requirements, typically requiring certification by a Commissioner of Oaths or Notary Public.
