What a receipt voucher is
A receipt voucher, called سند قبض in Arabic, is a written record that money has been received. The person or business receiving the money issues it and signs it, and the payer keeps it as proof of payment. It is used for cash and cheque payments, rent, deposits, advance payments, school and club fees, and settling invoices. Its counterpart is the payment voucher (سند صرف), which records money paid out.
What to include
A clear receipt voucher shows a unique number, the date, the name of the payer, the amount in figures and in words, the currency, the payment method with the cheque or transfer reference, what the payment is for and the name and signature of the person who received it. Writing the amount in words makes it harder to alter. This tool fills in the words automatically for UAE dirhams, Saudi riyals and the other Gulf currencies, including the three-decimal Kuwaiti, Bahraini and Omani currencies.
Receipt voucher, invoice or tax invoice?
A receipt voucher confirms a payment. It is not an invoice and not a tax invoice, so it does not replace one when VAT applies. In the UAE, a VAT-registered business issues a tax invoice for the supply, then a receipt voucher when it is paid. In Saudi Arabia, VAT-registered businesses must issue tax invoices through a ZATCA-compliant e-invoicing solution; this tool does not create those. Use the invoice generator for an invoice, and this receipt voucher for the payment.
Numbering and record keeping
Give every receipt voucher its own number in sequence, such as RV-0001, RV-0002, and keep a copy. The tool remembers the next number on this device if you allow it. Print two copies if both sides need a signed original, and keep receipts with your accounts for as long as your local rules require.
