Purchase Receipt Template

woman-with-purse-holding-purchase-receipt A purchase receipt is used in transactions involving products sold by a vendor (seller) to a customer. Generally, it contains the purchased items’ names, quantities, and prices per unit. Sales taxes are levied on state-by-state and county-by-county bases, so a sales tax may be added to the purchase price if the transaction occurs in a state or county with sales tax.
