Why do we keep these for tax purposes? What does the IRS care how much you've purchased with your money? I thought they only cared how much your income is.
- It depends. Evidence of ordinary individual expenditures does not normally need to be kept for tax purposes, although it may be useful for budgeting. But if you are deducting it as a business expense (such as if you are self-employed) or something like that, you might need it in the event of an audit. There are many other situations where having a receipt as evidence of a purchase is useful, such as for returns, insurance claims, theft reports, etc.
- The other situation is with use and sales taxes. Collection of sales tax intra-state is the responsibility of the seller, but if you buy something out of state you may need to pay a use tax when you bring it home under certain circumstances. The receipt would be necessary to prove the use tax owed. NTK (talk) 21:14, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Wouldn't it make more sense to have a picture of a receipt that's in English on the English version of the article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.108.183.82 (talk) 14:54, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Standardisation of business receipt....
Call for standarization of business receipt.
I searched ISO website and have not found much of the information. The only closest one is the following

I think the issue is very important in that it is the prerequisite for curbing corruption problem in the business world. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.191.80.9 (talk) 02:41, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
