Frequently asked questions

What should a general contractor receipt include?

Include the project address, scope of work completed at this stage (for milestone payments), materials supplied, subcontractors engaged, labour costs, any variations agreed during the project, and total amount received.

How should contractors handle receipts for staged payments?

Issue a receipt for each stage payment received, clearly stating which milestone it covers (e.g. 'Stage 2 — first fix complete'). Keep a running total so both parties can see what has been paid and what remains.

Do contractors need to keep copies of all receipts?

Yes — for tax purposes, keep copies of all receipts issued for at least 6 years. They also serve as a project record if disputes arise after completion.
