7.Why a receipt/invoice can be rejected?
Often receipts/invoices that are uploaded to application don’t meet the requirements. One of the most frequent mistakes of our customers is the failure to meet the deadlines for uploading receipts/invoices: in Italy, for example, a mandatory requirement is to upload receipts/invoices on the DAY OF PURCHASE (otherwise, those receipts/invoices will be rejected).
Receipts/invoices that can not be accepted for work:
– Receipts/invoices that do not meet the above requirements;
– Receipts/invoices for paid services (hotel accommodation, car rental, restaurant bills, etc.);
Receipts/invoices that is non-refundable:
France – Tobacco, medicines, vehicles and spare parts, weapons, antiques and works of art France over 50 years old, postage stamps
Italy – Fuel, vehicles, books
