A receipt is a document you provide to customers, serving as proof of purchase. Discover various types and what to include in it.

## When you need to give a receipt or proof of purchase

Always provide customers with a receipt or proof of purchase for items over $75. If customers request a receipt for purchases under $75, fulfill their request within seven days.

It's a good practice to provide a receipt to customers when they make a purchase, no matter the total amount.

 

## What to include on a receipt or proof of purchase

You can print a receipt or proof of purchase from a cash register, handwritten, or through a tax invoice.

Any receipt or proof of purchase you give your customers must include:

- Your business name and Australian Business Number (ABN) or Australian Company Number (ACN)
- The date of supply
- Details on the product or service
- The price

 

## Proof of purchase types

Besides receipts, there are other proof of purchase types. These can be proof that:

- You give to your customers, or
- Customers use to prove they purchased goods or services from you

Your customers may use their receipt or proof of purchase when seeking a refund, repair or replacement on a good or service you provided. Examples of proof of purchase include:

- A credit or debit card statement
- A layby agreement
- A receipt or reference number (for phone or internet payments)
- Supplier's or manufacturer's details, purchase date, and amount on warranty card.
- A serial or production number linked to the purchase on the supplier’s or manufacturer’s database
- A copy or photograph of the receipt

 

## Itemised bills for services

Customers can request an itemised bill or account within 30 days of receiving an invoice. You must provide this free of charge within 7 days of their request.

An itemised account must show:

- Calculation of the price explained.
- The total duration of labour and the applicable hourly rate, if required.
- A comprehensive breakdown of the materials used, along with the corresponding charges, if applicable.
