Receipts and invoices
This generator is for recording genuine payments that you or your business have received — the details at the top are your own. Never use it to imitate another company’s receipt or to record a payment that did not happen.
An invoice asks for payment; a receipt confirms that payment has been received. A receipt should show who paid, who was paid, the date, what the payment was for, the amount and how it was paid — cash, card, bank transfer or another method.
Keep a copy of every receipt you issue. Number them in sequence so they are easy to find later.
Tax
If you are registered for VAT, GST or sales tax, your tax authority may require extra details on the document — for example your registration number, the customer’s registration number and the words “Tax invoice” or “Receipt”. Check the rules where you are registered; you can add these in the tax number and notes fields.
