Why are petrol station VAT receipts separate from the main receipt?


Why do I need to ask for a separate VAT receipt at petrol stations? Couldn't they just put that extra couple of lines of information on the main receipt thereby saving a lot of paper?

No they couldn't .
The voucher they give you is either a credit card voucher, which you need to check your account, or a cash receipt.
A VAT receipt serves a different function and the info required by the small receipts regulations has to be displayed.
