WHAT DOES RECEIPTS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

receipts

Receipt

A receipt is a written acknowledgment that a specified article or payment has been received. A receipt records the sale of goods or provision of a service. If the recipient of the payment is required to collect a tax from the customer, the amount collected would also be included on the receipt and the amount would be deemed to have been collected on behalf of the relevant government tax authority. In many countries a retailer is required to include the tax and similar amounts in the price of goods sold. Similarly, amounts may be deducted from amounts payable, as in the case of wage withholding taxes. On the other hand, tips or other gratuities given by a customer, for example in a restaurant, would not form part of the payment amount. In some countries, it is obligatory for a business to provide a receipt to a customer confirming the details of a transaction. In most cases the recipient of money provides the receipt, but in some cases the receipt is generated by the payer, as in the case of goods returned to a store for a refund. A receipt is not the same as an invoice. However, there is usually no set form for a receipt, such as a requirement that it be machine generated.

Definition of receipts in the English dictionary

Simon Van Booy
As a single parent, I had become tyrannical in order to survive, and anything I couldn't control caused me enormous anxiety.
