Evidence that money came in

A receipt voucher (سند قبض) is the paper that proves a payment was received: from whom, how much, by what means, and against what. It is signed by the person who received the money and stamped, and a copy goes to the payer. In the books it debits the bank or the cash box and credits the customer's account, which is why the voucher names the invoice it settles.

  • A voucher number and date.
  • Received from: the payer's name.
  • The amount in figures and in words, and the method: cash, transfer, cheque, card, with the reference.
  • What it settles: the invoice number or the description of the advance.
  • Received by, signature and the company stamp.

A receipt is not an invoice

The voucher charges no VAT and the payer recovers none from it; VAT sits on the tax invoice the voucher settles. There is one case to watch: an advance received before the invoice. VAT becomes due at the earliest of supply, invoice and payment, so an advance is a taxable event in its own right and must be invoiced. Issue the voucher for the money and the tax invoice for the VAT.

The sample receives 7,665.00 by bank transfer against invoice INV-2026-0001, which is the sample tax invoice's total less a credit note.

Questions

Is a receipt voucher required by law?

Commercial practice and the Commercial Courts' evidence rules make a signed receipt the proof of payment; a bank transfer record is proof too. The voucher is the record that ties the money to the account it settles, which is what the ledger needs.

Why write the amount in words?

Because figures are altered more easily than words, and because the words settle any argument over a misplaced comma. Cheques follow the same rule for the same reason.

Does a receipt voucher carry VAT?

No. VAT is on the invoice; the receipt is the money. If the payment is an advance with no invoice yet, a tax invoice for the advance is due, because VAT is triggered by the payment.

Can one voucher settle several invoices?

Yes: list each invoice and the amount applied to it, so the customer's statement shows which invoices are cleared. A payment with no allocation sits as an unapplied credit and confuses the next statement.
