Excerpts from Australian Tax Office Ruling TR9721

A business using either a manual or a computerised accounting system may want to store and keep paper records in electronic form. Where paper records are produced or received in the course of carrying on business, the ATO accepts the imaging of those records onto an electronic storage medium provided that the electronic copies are a true and clear reproduction of the original paper records.

Where paper records are imaged and stored electronically the requirements of section 262A are satisfied if they are:

not altered or manipulated once stored;

retained for the statutory period of five years; and

capable of being retrieved and read at all times by ATO staff. The taxpayer is expected to provide appropriate facilities for the viewing of the electronic records kept in that format and where necessary, the printing of paper copy or the provision of an electronic copy.

The ATO considers that paper records imaged and stored electronically should be:

read only; and

subject to adequate back-up control, i.e.; a duplicate back-up copy of the stored records must be kept at all times at a safe location.

The ATO considers that paper records imaged and stored electronically should be:

invoices, purchase orders, receipts, vouchers, credit notes, delivery dockets, etc.;

bank statements and other bank records and documents; and

any other paper source documents produced or received in the course of carrying on a business.

Original paper records that have been imaged onto an electronic storage medium need not be retained for the purposes of the Act.
