44 1 Scope
45 This document establishes a semantic data model of an e-receipt or a simplified electronic invoice.
46 In the remainder of this document, when "e-receipt" is mentioned, "simplified invoice" is also
47 meant. The semantic model includes essential information elements that an electronic receipt
48 needs to ensure legal (including fiscal) compliance and to enable interoperability for cross-border,
49 cross sector and domestic trade. The semantic model can be used by organizations in the private
50 and the public sector for documenting by issuing a receipt for the purchase of services and /or
51 goods. It can also be used for documenting a purchase between private sector enterprises. In
52 addition, it has been designed for the use of consumers.
53 What separates the receipt document from the invoice document is basically the dynamics of the
54 usage. An invoice is mainly issued to achieve a payment for delivered goods and services and a
55 receipt is issued to document the payment for the purchase of goods and services. In addition, the
56 invoices always contain information about the buyer, whereas the receipt only needs that in
57 certain cases and is for the most part issued without a buyer identification.
58 These conditions are regulated differently by laws and practice in different countries and this has
59 been taken into consideration.
60 This document complies at least with the following criteria:
61 — it is technologically neutral;
62 — it is compatible with relevant international standards on electronic invoicing;
63 — the application of this document is intended to comply with the requirements for the
64 protection of personal data of Directive 95/46/EC, having due regard to the principles of
65 privacy and data protection by-design, data minimization, purpose limitation, necessity and
66 proportionality;
67 — it is consistent with the relevant provisions of Directive 2006/112/EC;
68 — it allows for the establishment of practical, user-friendly, flexible and cost-efficient electronic
69 invoicing and cash register systems;
70 — it takes into account the special needs of small and medium-sized enterprises as well as of
71 sub-central contracting authorities and contracting entities;
72 — it is suitable for use in commercial transactions between enterprises and between enterprises
73 and consumers.

147 4 The concept of an e-receipt
148 4.1 Introduction
149 In many countries retail businesses are required to use certified cash registers or point of sales
150 systems (POS) to produce receipts for each transaction, and to record and preserve the sales data
151 for audit. The purpose is to better tax compliance and set the stage for fair competition. The
152 requirements set for the content of the receipt, and the sales data to be preserved, have strong
153 seller emphasis, linking also to the seller’s obligations for bookkeeping and VAT declaration.
154 For the buyer the receipt is an instrument mainly for consumer protection, guaranteeing that the
155 purchase was legitimate and correct, but in the case the buyer is a taxable business entity the
156 receipt may also serve the buyer as verification in bookkeeping and for deduction of VAT.
157 It should be noted that the legislation on receipts in the EU member
