I think that you should pass legislation that allows scanned receipts to be used as records of actual receipts, mostly for ATO purposes. The US IRS has premitted this since 1997. Look up the Revenue Procedure 97-22 Ruling for an example of how this can be implemented. In addition to acknowledging the digital economy it will help recycling by allowing people to recycle paper they would normally store in cabinets for years.
