Discounts & AD withholding the recipt

[simmo2741]

Hi

I was looking to purchase my first high end watch, whilst shopping around one of the AD has offered a higher discount than the standard 20% but said to do so they would have to keep the receipt afterwards. They mentioned that this was standard and common and something they do for their regular customers.

Is this normal practice and what would happen if the watch needed a warranty repair?

Thanks!

ask them to issue two receipts la. solve the problem.

Not sure if it's to claim gst.

For warranty most service centers just require warranty card. No need receipt.

It's not a GST issue, most likely they worried that the receipt leaks out that they gave more than the "recommended" discount.

Could be both i heard abt the gst thing a while back.

Wooo... undertable claim GST on the sale? Nasty.

are they giving out discount more than the GST? if they are giving out discount e.g. 20 -> 25%, then of course it's GST mah
yeah, just ask them to give / copy the receipt... u buy from AD then got not receipt... very weird... why buy from AD
better buy from pararrel importer
