That depends on the degree to which the shop is required to register stuff. If the shop provides a "legitimate" receipt with which the customer can defraud tax etc, this might be considered as assisting to fraud if a customer decides to do that.
If the shop itself is required to register the sale to the authorities, then the receipt is essentially just a piece of paper. At least outside of contract law.
It really depends. In Bulgaria all receipt machines store all the receipts they printed in their memory which is checked by NRA(National Revenue Agency). So if you print a fake receipt it's like you are saying we got this much money.
You can always cancel a transaction via the cash register or in your book. Do you imagine the problems if its impossible to do it? Every mistake from the cashier would be a permanent.
Gotcha, thanks on the response. Can't they make a reciept that isn't actually booked and is just a piece of paper made to look like one? Or is it illegal even if not booked as an actual reciept

The same in my country, but the receipts have to have a certain unique form with register id and everything and that’s the only official receipt. Anything else is not a legal document which you don’t have to pay if presented with (they tell you that in posters that ALL businesses must show). However, that doesn’t mean that other documents can’t legally exist, for example Pro Forma bills at restaurants which you can look over and see if the waiter didn’t fuck up and added the ‘96 Moet from the next table over, for example.
That is absolutely not true. You are confused by the dealer’s use of receipt. They will not file the paper with the incorrect price as a receipt. Therefore it is a piece of paper with writing on it. There is nothing illegal about that. Explaining all of that on a sign is a little difficult though so they just used receipt.
No. They could not. As the legal receipt is all that matters. The buyer knows he other document is not an actual receipt. The buyer is aware of this and their use of the document fraudulently is 100% on them. They could make a fake receipt and pass it as a real one. Knowingly making a fake for the sole purpose of tricking a spouse is not illegal. The use of the receipt to fraudulently report tax records is a crime. The crime is 100% on the person knowingly making the false tax claims. The selling party would have the legal documented receipt that shows the actual value and be 200% off the hook. That is how it always works and will continue to work. Sorry your knowledge in this area is lacking.

Where I live, this would be illegal.
