It is really very important for every consumer to receive invoice in the retail market. Especially in the market like Nepal, it is the most important factor to be followed by every consumer. Generally the word bill in place of invoice is in practice here in Nepal. If the consumers don’t receive or take bills for what they pay, the traders make out the maximum benefit of it. I would like to give an example.

I go to a shop to buy a computer set which would cost 10000.00. After I bought the computer I need a bill of 10000.00 and not less than that. Out of the total amount of 10000.00, Rs. 1300 is paid as Value Added Tax which goes to the government. I would be glad if I pay that 1300.00 to the government. But after buying the computer for 10000.00 if I get a bill of only Rs. 8000.00 then the retailer or the computer trader cheats Rs.2000.00 to the government. Out of 8000.00 I seem to be paying 1040.00 only when I have paid the total amount of 10000.00. Your 2000.00 goes into the pocket of the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper made a profit of Rs. 2000.00 by cheating me as well as the government.
