What goes on an interpreter's receipt?
An interpreting receipt confirms the client paid for completed work and records what it covered, such as conference, legal, or community interpreting. List the assignment, the hours or sessions, the language pair, and any travel, then show the date paid and the method. Clients keep it to reconcile against the agreed booking.

How the work is charged
Interpreters usually charge by the hour, half day, or full day, with travel and subsistence added on and a higher rate for simultaneous work. A receipt shows those amounts as paid.
Payment terms and deposits
A receipt is issued once payment clears, often by transfer after the assignment. Note the date the funds arrived and the method, keep a copy, and give one to the client for their records.
Tax and compliance
If you are registered for sales tax or VAT, list it separately with your registration number. Cross-border assignments can change how tax applies, so confirm the rules that fit your situation.
Frequently asked questions
What should an interpreting receipt include?
Include the interpreting mode (simultaneous, consecutive, liaison), language pair, event or case reference, hours worked, any travel or waiting time charged, and total received.
Should interpreters charge cancellation fees and receipt them?
Yes. If a booking is cancelled late, charge your cancellation fee and issue a receipt for it. Note the original booking date and the cancellation date so the reason for the charge is clear.
How should interpreters receipt court work?
Court interpreting often involves waiting time, travel, and a minimum attendance fee. List each element separately on the receipt. Courts and legal teams expect itemised billing and keep receipts for case files.
