==Submission =Proper Receipts===A proper receipt shows the pre-tax amount, the provincial sales tax, and the government sales tax. It also shows the TPS (GST) and TPQ (PST) numbers of the business. If any of these elements are missing, the sales tax will be charged to your accounts, and you might not find out until it's too late. Generally speaking, receipts that are provided by a store include all of these elements by default, and you probably don't need to bother checking them.<br>Pizza places and other small cash businesses commonly give you handwritten receipts without the proper information, but these can still allow you to be reimbursed- just don't expect to get charged the pre-tax amount if you don't have the tax numbers. Likewise, pizza places, cab drivers, and other businesses often will take cash tips, but if you want to be reimbursed for the tip, get them to write the tip on the receipt and sign for it.<br>==Other Cases=====50% Tax Rule===Expenses where a good or service is provided for free (i.e. free food costs), 50% of the tax will be charged. This 50% charge is not applicable when tickets are sold to the event. Indicate on the cheque req if tickets were sold or else your account will get charged the average of the pre- and Rejectionpost-tax amounts.===Foreign Purchases===Foreign purchases are typically made in a foreign currency, but the EUS can only print cheques in Canadian dollars, so an additional step is needed to ensure that you are reimbursed the correct amount. Submit a statement (credit statement preferably) along with the receipt to show the actual conversion and price you were charged. For this reason, '''you should try to make ALL purchases in the United States or other countries with a Canadian credit or debit card.'''===Cheque Receipt===Currently, to receive a cheque that has been processed, the person for whom the cheque is written must approach [[Dianne]] in the EUS Office, and she will hand that individual the cheque. Cheques are prepared on Wednesday and should be picked up on the Friday of that week.<br>Note that it is also possible to have a cheque mailed to you if you will not be in montreal. Simply indicate this on the cheque req, with the appropriate mailing address.
