Why don't gas stations issue receipts?

Have you ever tried to ask for an OFFICIAL RECEIPT from a gas station?

More often than not, all you will get is a sales invoice. Is that legal? The station attendants sometimes claim that sales invoices are valid replacements for receipts, at least for gas stations. Is this correct? Is there any lawyer or or BIR employee who can clear this up?

As far as I know, sales invoices CANNOT take the place of receipts.

At one Caltex station, the female attendant flatly refused to give me a receipt despite the fact that I had been able to get a receipt from the same station before. I asked for the printout machine receipt, and she said it was not allowed. What garbage! Other attendants at that station had given me the same kind of receipt before. This station is on Mango Ave., right beside National Bookstore.

Another Caltex station that doesn't issue receipts is the one at Banawa, V. Rama corner M. Velez.

The Shell station on Escario, near Capitol Church sometimes gives me the machine receipt when I ask for it. Ladt year, the station manager refused to do so and I chewed him oput. Maybe they learned their lesson. So far, the last few trimes I asked, they gave me the machine receipt.

By the way, the Sinangag Express on M. Velez doesn't issue receipt either. This is despite the fact that they have a prominent sing stating that you SHOULD ask for a receipt. They keep saying they ran out and that they will get from their other branch. They haven't. I ate there several times. No receipts!

I hope the BIR hears about this!

Here's something I want to try... I'll load gas and ask for a receipt BEFORE I pay. If I see that they don't have a receipt, I will REFUSE to pay until they produce an official receipt. That should wake some of these people up!

they should be issuing a receipt. when the lady said that "it's not allowed" it's just BS (pardon my french).Â* perhaps they are trying to avoid paying the tax so they are refusing to issue a receipt? we'll never know but the bottom line is, you and all customers of that gas station (or any establishment) are entitled to get an official receipt whenever they purchase gas (or any item).

Other establishments do this also - To escape taxes. Which in turn made the government approve Evat to improve tax collection in country... Cause and effect...

[websniper]

It is the right of the consumer to demand for a reciept.There are times that a consumer will no longer demand for a receipt because she/he in a hurry. But again, it is their right to demand for a receipt.
