No receipt
Permalink Closed


Hi everyone,

Happy Monday!

I've put an advert online and they haven't sent me a receipt. The amount is very small (under 5 pounds), so it's not going to make a big difference whether I include it as an expense or not, but I wondered what happens in these situations. Is my bank statement enough of a proof, or would I need an invoice/receipt to be able to class it as an expense? I'm self-employed.

Thanks as always :)

Whilst it's always best to have a receipt, as long as you can back up the purchase (as you have) then imo that's sufficient.  I would put a slip of paper in your accounts and write on what it was for and the amount and date.

< link removed by moderator> is a good option - if you need a backup receipt.

Justin, you cannot just go printing off receipts that you make up yourself!

The idea of a backup receipt is photographing both sides of a legitimate receipt on your smartphone.

Your link (which was advertising) has been removed.

You are capitalising and spelling it incorrectly, though. It's a proper noun, so should start with a capital - and it's spelt with a double d: Overpuddlian. :p
