OREANDA-NEWS In Russia, there are wanted to finally abandon paper cash receipts. This is reported by the Izvestia newspaper with reference to the initiative of the Ministry of Natural Resources.
The agency proposes to get rid of paper receipts in retail and limit themselves to electronic documents in order to minimize waste. However, they are ready to make such a transition only after a "comprehensive study" of the initiative with all interested participants.
The Federal Tax Service (FTS) warned that the absence of paper checks may infringe on the rights of the buyer — a physical document allows you to instantly check the cost of work and services. In addition, not all citizens use smartphones to control purchases, so it is important to give them a choice whether to receive an electronic or printed receipt.
According to Denis Butsaev, CEO of the Russian Environmental Operator (REO), the organization evaluates the initiative positively. Electronic receipts are more environmentally friendly, more convenient to store and easy to receive.
"Every year more and more people are ready to receive electronic checks — they are not lost, they allow you to control expenses online and do not form garbage. Large retail chains have been stimulating the transition to electronic analogues since 2021," the chairman of the Presidium of the Association of Retail Companies (ACORT) added Igor Karavaev.
Earlier, the Ministry of Industry and Trade proposed to cancel checks in Russia. According to Deputy head of the department Viktor Yevtukhov, if you give customers the choice to receive a check in paper or electronic form, this will reduce business expenses on check paper, which has risen in price due to sanctions, and save up to 30 billion rubles a year. Due to the cessation of supplies of raw materials, rising exchange rates and disruption of the logistics chain due to sanctions in Russia, prices rose for a long period and there was a shortage of check tape, and the Federal Tax Service did not even fine stores that did not issue paper checks to customers.
