What would you do???????????????

I have been given a receipt with the total paid showing, but there are no items listed, I am thinking that I cannot put this through the accounts even though the client has told me it's stationery is this correct. Because from my point of view it could be a receipt for anything.

 

Please correct me if I am wrong! Sorry I'm fairly new to this!!!!

Hi Lorraine, does the receipt show a business name and VAT registration number. If I was in your position, as long as the receipt came from a stationery outlet I would put it through.

Thank you for your reply the receipt has no vat number so I will be putting the whole cost through as an expense. It has been bought from a small shop which would sell stationery. So would you say this is acceptable?

Hi Lor,

I'd stick it through too. Itemised receipts for small purchases is a fairly recent thing, a few years ago you'd never have got one anyway.

Maybe suggest that your client uses a simple petty cash system, thus attaching the receipt to a petty cash voucher detailing what it was for.
