A receipt is evidence enough for a tax authority to ascertain the price of an item and subsequent assessment of tax, the Tax Appeals Tribunal (TAT) has ruled.
In a ruling delivered by Dr Asa Mugenyi, the chairman of the Tax Appeals Tribune, Dr Stephen Akabway and Mr Siraji Ali, both members of the Tribune, it was concluded that a receipt, which shows details of payment is conclusive evidence to determine what is contained in a purchase order and invoice.
