Fuel Receipts: Do you ask for them?

vaevictis · March 2006

Sabi ng erpats ko, tuwing nagpapa-gasolina daw ako, kunin ko daw lagi yung mga resibo, para matax din yun ng BIR. Kasi pag di daw kinukuha yung resibo, di daw nata-taxan yung gasolina na kinarga ko. Is this true?

Pero yung mga resibong binibigay naman sakin(Bulacan gas stations), mga sulat kamay lang naman. So pano nila mao-audit yun? Or malaman ng BIR kung magkano yung kinikita nila? Pero syempre meron din namang mga gas stations na electronic yung cashiers nila, so recorded yung income nila and printed din yung resibo nila. Eh panu dun sa mga mano mano lang yung mga resibo?

ehh?? well, the gas station has a dublicate copy of the receipt, diba?
dun based ang tax sa BIR.

anyway. i use credit card (shell citibank) para may cash back sa gas..

Eh paano kung hindi ka humingi ng resibo? Hindi sila mata-taxan sa binayad mo sa kanila kung cash yung binayad mo?

Hassle din kasing maghintay para sa resibo eh hehe.

well, obviously hindi na sila magbabayad ng tax. cause 'they never made a sale'

Kung "Representation ek-ek" yun parang tax break/shield sya.... tipong tax free.... hanggang 20% yata ng gross income mo yun (atleast yung sa akin ganun).... pwede din sa pagkain besides transpo (parking, bus fare, gas, etc).

Sa US, pede mong include gas expenses pag na-assign ka lang sa ibang state. Kasali sya sa moving expense basta't job related move. Di lang ako sure dito sa atin....

The gas station only has a duplicate copy if it actually created one in the first place.

Okay, so the bottomline is, kunin lagi natin yung resibo. Para magbayad sila ng tax nila.

Thing is, based on my observations, konti lang ang mga humihing ng resibo. So madami palang tax na hindi binababayaran ang mga gasoline stations.

It's a standard for me.

marco_1 · March 2006

yep, lahat ng resibo knukuha ko.. lalo na pag nagpapagas ako.. i tracked them also.. may diary ako for my car... ilang kms natakbo per day, epass load, magkano at ilang ltrs napagas, etc...

I get the receipts, I don't see why you shouldn't. It's proof your money went SOMEWHERE.

A similar incident happened to my uncle once. They used his credit card to buy something else (a gum?!).

natirikan ako dahil may halo yung gas na napakarga sa 'kin, tapos wala 'kong resibo at wala akong laban do'n sa gasolinahan dahil wala akong proof of purchase, tinirik kami sa San Miguel Bulacan sa gitna ng rice field na pitch-black ang road, kami lang ang tao at bihira ang sasakyang dumadaan, (buti na lang 'di kami sa expresway tumirik) after no'n, kumuha na 'ko ng receipt tuwing nagpapagas ako.

yep. its part of my personal advocacy to prevent corruption. I ask for receipts for anything I purchase. That way I can account for my expenses, seller paid their taxes, at sigurado hindi nai bulsa ng gas boy ang pera ko. hehe.
