- ams6110 15y agoI don't know about UK, but in the USA scanned images are legally adequate for this sort of thing.
- tomjen3 15y agoCall the tax authorities and ask. At least then, you have some cover for your ass if it turns out their don't suffice.
- tomblomfield 15y agoI sure hope so. I'll phone up tomorrow and ask.
