Does a self-employed individual have an obligation to produce an income analysis if their income is called into question?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Thauvette v. McGregor, 2021 ONSC 8233 (CanLII):
With respect to self-employed individuals, as noted in Sargalis at para. 11, while they do not have an obligation to produce an income analysis if their income is called into question, they do have an obligation “to satisfy the court of their true income … the party may fulfil this obligation by commissioning an income analysis or by providing further disclosure. All measures a party undertakes to prove their true income is at their own costs: see Manchanda v. Thethi (2016), 2016 ONSC 3776 (CanLII), 131 O.R. (3d) 393”. Analysis
