Senator MURRAY (4:57 PM) —Minister, yes, of course we understand that there are no input credits available from gambling. That is the proper policy. My concern was really whether there was a prohibition on an invoice or a receipt being provided for a taxable supply that was solely a gambling supply.

My reason is as follows. It is relatively common practice for businesses to entertain visitors, customers or suppliers in casinos. You can picture the scenario of the sales manager of, say, an auto parts company being told by his boss to take three visiting suppliers to the casino. There would be a receipt available from the restaurant and there would be a receipt available from the bar but his boss would expect him to come back with a receipt saying that he spent $1,000 on chips. That is all; I was looking to make sure there is no prohibition on the casino providing that receipt, even though it is solely for gambling purposes.
