They're a direct liability traceable to and accountable by the business noted.

Any return accepted is revenue rescinded and indirect cost incurred by the business to restock with the aim of winning future conversion. A business issuing receipts as required by law is a consumer protection mechanism; a business retaining its receipts is for tax compliance.
