Administrative / Biographical History

The word “receipt” comes from the Old Norman French word for recipe and the Latin word to receive. A receipt is “A written acknowledgment that a specified article or sum of money has been received.” Receipts contain two main elements, the clearance of goods or services and the settlement of payment. Many countries require receipts to be provided upon receipt of goods sold. Some countries mandate that tax also be included on all receipts. There is no set form for a receipt, though they often contain details of payment and a list of goods or services provided, cost of those individual goods, the tax on those goods, the total prior to tax, and the full total after tax. Receipts often contain the name of the seller or vendor along with the vendor’s address. Receipts are different than invoices, though in some cases receipts and invoices are combined. Essentially a receipt indicates a complete transaction while an invoice usually implies money is owed. The concept of a receipt has been around for at least 5,000 years. In fact a receipt represents one of the oldest examples of known writing. A cuneiform clay tablet listing clothing along with prices was used in Ancient Mesopotamia.
