A digital receipt may be used as long as it is an exact replica of the paper receipt and contains all the pertinent data. Records of business expenses include receipts. It is essential to keep track of potential tax deductions, prepare tax returns, and provide evidence for items on business tax returns. At least three years’ worth of records and paperwork are checked by the Taxpayers. So, receipts should be kept for at least three years or longer. But the old ways of keeping paper receipts, managing them, and putting them in order can also be time-consuming and difficult.
