Receipts: use for returns, administration and tax returns

A man holds a receipt in his hand and smiles meanwhile.

A receipt is a small but important document you receive with a purchase. It contains crucial information such as the date, the name of the shop and the product purchased. This piece of paper acts as proof of your purchase and can come in handy if you want to make a return or exchange. In addition, a receipt helps with your personal records and tax returns. So it is wise to keep receipts well.

The genesis

The receipt as we know it today has a long history. Its use began in the 19th century, when traders gave written confirmations of transactions. These first receipts were often handwritten. With the rise of the cash register in the early 20th century, people started printing them. This made the process faster and less prone to error. Nowadays, digital receipts are making their appearance, making administration even easier.

Laws and regulations

There are several laws and regulations related to receipts. In many countries, receipts must be provided for purchases, especially those involving commercial transactions. This is often mandatory for VAT and tax returns. In the Netherlands, for example, the tax authorities have requirements on the information that must be on them. The document must clearly state the price, VAT and the seller’s details. The receipt also plays an important role in returns and warranties, as it is often needed to prove a purchase.

Further investigations

If you want to know more about receipts, there are several ways to do this. Start by consulting information from official bodies such as tax authorities or consumer organisations. They often offer detailed guidelines and tips on saving and using receipts. You can also visit online forums and blogs that deal specifically with tax and administration issues.

These sources often offer practical advice and experiences of others. Finally, if you have questions about specific receipts or regulations, consider consulting a financial adviser or tax expert.
