Why aren charge card statements and electronic records in DTS valid receipts?
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regulations require travel expenses to be documented before travel reimbursements can qualify as non-taxable payments. Data available from charge card statements does provide proof of payment, but doesn’t provide the level of detail required, such as itemized costs and dates of service. The itinerary and ticket information available in DTS cannot be used to replace a receipt because that information can be edited by the traveler in the voucher process to make corrections reflecting changes to the travel costs after the ticket was originally issued.
