I have a question regarding the storage of original invoices in paper form in countries of the European Union. Do they have to be kept in paper form after scanning? According to research, the original invoices must be kept in Spain, for example.
We would like to reorganize the travel expense process and, if possible, destroy the original receipts after scanning in Germany. The scanned receipts can be retrieved at any time and can also be printed out if necessary.
Can you tell us whether the tax auditors need the original invoices for a tax audit of travel expense receipts?
How do other companies handle this?
Thank you very much.
Yours sincerely
