Bank statements - should I retain hardcopies for tax or other official purposes (or keep digital scanned copies)?
In the UK Directgov don't specify anything more than "records", which leads me to think that a digital copy might be acceptable. With regards to bank statements, individuals (i.e. not self-employed, or owning a business) need to keep them for between 12 and 15 months after your tax return, depending on when you filed it.
