Hope someone can help me with this one.
I have one client who takes a large proportion of her sales via debit/credit cards over the telephone using streamline. When she completes this transaction she fills in a small sheet of paper with debit/credit card number, expiry date, customer name etc and then when she puts the transaction through her terminal she attaches the print out to the handwritten slip.
The summary comes in at the end of the month from streamline with just daily totals so does not give a customer specific breakdown.
My question is does she need to keep all these little slips (once they have been processed and checked) as part of her business records? My inital response was a yes as this is how you could trace back sales but I'm not 100% sure so would like some advice.
I think her concern is the space that all these take up and also having that much client data on her premesis. I have only previously delt with customers that raise invoices so have not yet come accross this scenario.
Any advice appreciated?
