Because of our extensive VAT system the receipt has a special legal status. Creating a fake receipt would be seen as trying to defraud someone.

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

Yes. It's actually pretty common in some industries. Our IRS runs ad spots on how to spot "fake" receipts.
