Even small independent shops give receipts if you ask them.
They are aware that some people can expense things through their business/employer and want customers like this.
Another place used to just grab a scrap of paper, stamp their name on it and write the price on it.
I've never been told that they can't provide a receipt.Comment

Originally posted by northernladuk View PostExactly what I was thinking. Maybe it's a shop you are only paying a couple of quid for something. If so is it really worth the hassle of claiming. It's not like claiming it through the company makes it free.
I'll confess to putting a £2 claim in last month, but I couldn't be bothered to actually pay the money out to me, as I had nothing else owing and it seemed a hassle to log into internet banking just to get my £2 back.Comment

You may be able to apply for a 'dispensation', in which case you won't need receipts. Talk to your accountant (when you get one!).Comment

Originally posted by TheCyclingProgrammer View PostI don't think a dispensation gurantees you do not need receipts. It would mean not having to report on a P11D and claim in self assessment, so greatly reduces the chance of it being challenged, but HMRC could still challenge if they found out and ask for receipts I think.
If you get a scale rate agreed, then I don't think you need to keep the receipts.Comment
