A taxi receipt is a sale record confirming a passenger paid a fare to the driver. It includes details about the charges, driver, trip, and vehicle. The driver issues the receipt to the passenger after receiving the payment. Drivers must save receipts to verify the mileage driven in a shift. Passengers can save receipts for employer reimbursements and tax deductions.
