Buying Stock but unable to get receipts????

[walton_industries]

Hi,
I am currently self-employed and I am selling items on Ebay. I sometimes see items at car boots/markets I can sell but obviousley I cant get any reeipts for my expenses/accounts etc.

What can I do??

Thanks

Hi,

Ask the people on the boot sales etc, to write you one. A written one is just as good as anything. We get people to write us one when we buy second hand things for our shop, our accountant says it is fine. Carry a small note pad a pen with you, just incase they don't have one. Make sure they sign it, date it and put on an address or contact no'.

Hope I helped

Yes a small 2 part note book - the ones with the carbon paper in spring to mind..

Probably from whsmith or somewhere like that.
