Retail sales


A relevant person may choose in respect of each tax year that the digital records in relation to the retail sales of that business are those specified below.


In respect of the retail sales of the business of a retailer, digital records means a single digital record of the daily gross takings for any retail sales made.


The gross daily retail sales digital record must include:


all payments as they are received by the relevant person or on the relevant person’s behalf, from its own cash - paying retail consumers. This includes payments by cheque, debit or credit card, maestro, visa or similar electronic transactions and electronic cash.


the full value of all credit or other non-cash retail sales received by the relevant person or on the relevant person’s behalf. This includes the full value of credit sales, the cash value of payment in kind for retail sales, the face value of gift, book and record vouchers received and any other payments for retail sales, including those sales completed via third-party online sales platforms.


The following may be excluded when calculating the amount of daily gross takings:


  • counterfeit notes

  • illegible credit card transactions

  • inadvertent acceptance of foreign currency (where discovered after their acceptance)

  • inadvertent acceptance of out-of-date coupons which are not honoured by promoters

  • instalments in respect of credit sales

  • receipts recording for supplies which are to be recorded outside of the election

  • refunds to a consumer for overcharges or faulty/unsuitable goods

  • float discrepancies

  • unsigned or dishonoured cheques from cash customers

  • use of training tills
