According to the source, informal transactions refer to retail purchases that do not comply with VAT payment rules and other legal obligations. Such transactions may involve either informal entrepreneurs or formal companies that fail to provide a corresponding slip in their digital sales.

Characteristics such as "place of purchase, method of payment, method of shipment and purchase intention" were used to determine "which transactions had a high likelihood of being informal."
