VATREC3024 | Preserving records: Determining the 6 year period - Preservation of parts of records

A taxable person is only legally required to preserve records that are less than 6 years old. It would not be a breach of the law if pages of a bound book, or parts of pages or cards, were destroyed piecemeal as soon as the information recorded on them had been kept for the statutory period.
