Frequently Asked Questions
Is this receipt legally valid?
Yes, digital receipts are legally valid in most jurisdictions. However, specific requirements vary by location and industry. Consult local regulations for tax receipts or specific compliance needs. This tool provides standard receipt documentation suitable for most transactions.
Can I save my business information?
Currently, you'll need to re-enter business information for each session. We recommend keeping a template document with your business details to copy and paste. Future updates may include saved templates.
What should I include in receipt numbers?
Use a consistent format like "REC-001", "INV-2024-001", or "SALE-20240115-001". Sequential numbering helps with record keeping and accounting. Include date codes or category prefixes if managing multiple receipt types.
How do I handle taxes on receipts?
This tool doesn't automatically calculate taxes. Add tax as a separate line item with the tax amount calculated manually. For example, add "Sales Tax (8%)" as an item with the calculated tax amount.
Can I customize the receipt design?
The current version provides a clean, standard receipt format. While customization options are limited, the professional design works well for most businesses and is printer-friendly.
What's the difference between receipt and invoice?
Receipts confirm payment received for completed transactions. Invoices request payment for goods/services to be paid later. Use receipts when payment is collected at time of sale or service completion.
Should I keep copies of receipts?
Yes, always keep digital copies for your records. Save PDFs with organized naming (customer name, date, receipt number) and back up regularly. These are essential for accounting, taxes, and potential disputes.
Can customers use this for tax deductions?
If your goods or services are tax-deductible for the customer, these receipts serve as proof of purchase. Include detailed item descriptions and ensure your business information is complete and accurate.
What if I make a mistake on a receipt?
Don't alter issued receipts. Instead, issue a new receipt with a new number and reference the original. Or create a separate "credit note" or "corrected receipt" that references the original receipt number.
How long should I store receipts?
Most tax authorities require 3-7 years of receipt retention. Check your local requirements. Store digital copies securely with regular backups. Cloud storage with encryption is recommended for long-term archival.
