You may be surprised to know that not all receipts are accurate.
They are dated incorrectly.
They have listed expenses incorrectly.
They don’t use a GST rate of 10%.
They simply don’t add up.
You cannot assume that an invoice or a receipt is correct, and if it is for a significant amount you should do a quick check. Fortunately if you are using MYOB software, many errors will be highlighted during the entry process.
With one client we identified a custom agent was using GST at a rate of 20% rather than 10% as I could never get the entries to add up during data entry processing into MYOB software. We arranged for in excess of $2000 GST rebate from this supplier. It is nice to find errors in favour of the customer.
Last week I visited a West End coffee store early morning before a client meeting. The music was so loud my head rattled, and I was unable to pre-prep. I went to pay, realised I had no cash, and there was a $10 minimum on EFTPOS ~ fair enough. I told the cashier to take tips and just to make the bill up to $10 even.
I am really not sure why I ended up paying 40 cents extra, when I was making the bill up to $10 even and why the tip portion is invisible.
It is probably legitimate taxation/accounting reasons that the tip is not shown, I am not suggesting this receipt is inaccurate but I think the invoice is a little confusing.
