Editor,In South Africa, to provide electronic receipts is a culture. The customer doesn't demand but the trader knows that it is his/her responsibility to provide the receipt to the customer and he knows also that it is the right of a customer to receive it.In Rwanda, many traders were directly or indirectly involved in tax evasion, the reason why there is that resistance to change. Appropriate punishment is one way to change the bad behaviour.Therefore, Rwanda Revenue Authority and other stakeholders must use this tool to change those who don't want to change.Kamali, South AfricaReaction to the story, "Mixed reactions over the use of electronic machines” (The New Times, January 3)
