What to put on an electrician's receipt
Say what the payment was for
Name the job or the invoice, such as "Final payment, kitchen rewire, invoice INV-1042", so the receipt still makes sense a year from now.
Show the amount and the day it was paid
A receipt has one date, the day the money arrived. If the customer paid only part of the bill, say in the Notes box what is still owed.
Record how they paid
Cash, check or transfer, with the check number or a reference. Cash and check leave no other trace, so the receipt is the record for both of you.
Put what you installed in the description
Make and model of a panel, a charger or a fixture. If a warranty or a rebate question comes up later, the receipt shows who did the work and what went in.

Questions about electrician receipts
Is a receipt the same as an invoice?
No. An invoice asks for payment and a receipt confirms it. Send the invoice first, then the receipt once the money is in.
When should an electrician give a receipt?
Whenever you are paid, especially in cash or by check, where there is no other record. Hand it over at the time or send it the same day.
Can a receipt help with a warranty or rebate claim?
It can help, because it shows who did the work, what was done and when it was paid. Whether a rebate program accepts it is up to the program, so check its rules.
Should an electrician's receipt show sales tax?
It depends on your state and on whether you are selling labor, materials or both. Check with your state's tax agency or your accountant. This generator doesn't calculate tax, so add it as its own line if you charged it.
