Free UK receipt template
A UK receipt is an acknowledgement of payment, not a request for it. Show who paid, who received the money, the date, what it was for, the amount paid, how it was paid and a receipt number. Fill in the template, watch the preview update, then download it with a free account.
Must be unique. Change it if you use your own series.

This receipt acknowledges payment. It is not an invoice.
What a UK receipt should show
GOV.UK says an invoice is not the same as a receipt, which is an acknowledgement of payment. This is not a legal checklist: these are the details customers and accountants usually expect on one.
- Who paid
- Who received the payment
- The date of payment
- What the payment was for
- The amount paid
- How it was paid
- A receipt number
Need to ask for payment first? Use the invoice template or, if you and your customer are both VAT registered, the VAT invoice template.
