Don’t be cheated. This is what a correct receipt should look like. What to do when you got bad?

It is the responsibility of every seller, entrepreneur or employee to issue a receipt for the goods purchased by the physical customer or a paid service. He should do it without a request, i.e. regardless of whether the customer asks for it or not. Its lack may mean that the transaction will not be saved in the fiscal system and the appropriate tax will not be paid. To avoid suspicions, some decide to release paragons reminiscent, but not in reality. What should it contain correctly?

What must be on the receipt? Pay attention to these entries

According to the law, the seller is obliged to issue a fiscal receipt for the purchase of a service or goods. What’s more, regardless of the chosen form of payment, he should give it at the latest at the time of accepting money from the buyer. It is important, however, that the document contains all relevant information, including:

• centrally placed inscription “fiscal receipt”,
• taxpayer data, i.e. NIP number, name, address,
• date and time of sale,
• unique cash number,
• print number,
• fiscal receipt number,
• cashier number and cashier (if you work more than one),
• the name of the goods or service that will allow it to be identified along with its price and quantity,
• the value of possible discounts, reductions and promotions (if there are),
• the value of gross sales with the amount of tax according to its individual rates after taking into account discounts, discounts or bedspreads,
• the value of sales exempt from tax together with the letter mark,
• total amount of tax and gross sales,
• currency.

Is a non -fiscal receipt important? Don’t be fooled

Sometimes you can also meet with a “non -fiscal receipt”, i.e. one that will not be recorded permanently in the memory of the cash register. They are usually used to learn, test the device or save the order, for example in a restaurant (hence the second name: waiter receipt). However, it is not proof or confirmation of purchase and payment and should not be handed to the customer. Some also think that instead of a receipt, it is enough to take confirmation from the terminal. Unfortunately, this is a common mistake, because this document is only proof of making a non -cash payment. If the entrepreneur gives you the above documents instead of a fiscal receipt, he probably does not settle accounts with the state. In this case, you should report it.

Where to report a lack of receipts? You will do it in several ways

Both for the issuing of an incomplete, incorrect receipt and not to the client at all, there are high penalties. According to the law, in the case of a tax offense, it is from 1/10 to twenty times the minimum remuneration for work. If the fine is imposed as a penalty mandate, then its maximum amount may not exceed five times the minimum wage (this in turn is PLN 4,666). How to report irregularities? You can submit a denunciation at the nearest tax office, call the intervention number (800 060,000), send an e-mail (noticiadiamas@rd.gov.pl) or use the e-parizers application.
