What are types 1, type 2 and type 3 transactions?
Type 1 transactions do not show VAT on the terminal receipt issued to the customer at the time of purchase. Type 2 transactions and Type 3 transactions show VAT and the line item detail of the transaction as well. These types of transactions are important because the information at the time of purchase flows through the bank’s records and the back office software to the finance system and so can be viewed by the purchasing team.
