The requirements for receipts differ in national legislation. From the receipts I used in Germany and Italy, name as we use in OSM was often there, but if the receipt has only the minimum required information, there is just the operator name and address (date, goods, price, tax etc), the vat identification number is mandatory in Italy but not in Germany (for receipts <250eur), although it will usually be there in Germany as well. What the law refers to as “name” is actually the operator.
