Are you supposed to hold them forever, for that day, while what you've bought it being consumed? Feel free to point me to another post if this has been explained. We were just so confused about what to do with them and ended up with pockets bulging with little strips of paper.Sunday Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11970869157225739725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19125595.post-69577369867947466492009-01-18T16:47:00.000+01:002009-01-18T16:47:00.000+01:00The point of this story was the irony..law enforce...The point of this story was the irony..law enforcement are all around us but THE ITALIANS are the ones not wanting to give the receipts.<BR/><BR/>I have never advocated refusing receipts or avoiding taxes but followers of this blog will have read how ITALIANS have thwarted our honest attempts to pay taxes. We have no problem paying what is due but even officials from tax offices have advised us to do things in "nero". We don't want to do things in "nero" but to avoid the situations I have described we would have to avoid going to most the the establishments in this area.Bryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09926494405638258690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19125595.post-67181121438674840872009-01-17T22:57:00.000+01:002009-01-17T22:57:00.000+01:00lol...the police right there and no one worrying a...lol...the police right there and no one worrying about receipts!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19125595.post-70028064434363085692009-01-17T14:37:00.000+01:002009-01-17T14:37:00.000+01:00I think when you are a guest in a country you shou...I think when you are a guest in a country you should obey the law even is some of the locals do not. If you don't like taxes vote for politicians who will abolish them. It won't happen because some taxes need to be paid; like some of the tax pays for your wonderful, almost free, health care. None of us gets to pick and choose which taxes we want to pay. Not paying them is . . .

We were lucky enough to escape without a fine but I'm sure our friends who own the pizzeria were given a fine even tho they gave us the pizza for free! <BR/><BR/>ALWAYS get a receipt, and if it's a gift, have them indicate it on the scontrino! Better safe than sorry - I can't tell you how upset we were that our friends had to pay a fine for being generous!Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13853057494479680201noreply@blogger.com
