uin	46614
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/10/2016 answer text <p>There is no legislative framework for purchase receipts, which are simply an acknowledgment of payment. There is VAT legislation on when an invoice must be provided. This states that VAT-registered businesses are only obliged to provide invoices to other VAT-registered businesses. Expanding the information that must be provided on VAT invoices to cover other taxes and duties, or requiring invoices to be provided to private motorists as well as businesses, would increase administrative burdens for retailers. The Government therefore has no plans to implement this proposal.</p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 14/10/2016 09:30:55 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/10/2016 answer text <p>The potential transfer of staff transfer under TUPE is governed by statute, as opposed to HM Revenue and Customs’ policy, and there is accordingly appropriate legal provision for this matter contained in the current agreement with Concentrix.
