What goes on an upholsterer's receipt?
An upholstery receipt confirms the customer paid for completed work and records what it covered, such as reupholstering a sofa or replacing seat pads. List the piece, the fabric supplied, the work done, and any deposit, then show the date paid and the method. Customers keep it as a record of the job for their furniture.
Typical line items

How the work is charged
Upholsterers usually quote a job price covering labour plus fabric, with extras such as seat pads added on, often taking a deposit toward fabric. A receipt shows the deposit and balance as paid.
Payment terms and deposits
A receipt is given once final payment is taken, usually on collection or delivery. Keep a copy for your records and hand one to the customer as a record of the work.
Tax and compliance
If you are registered for sales tax or VAT, show it as a separate line with your registration number so the receipt matches the original quote. Tax rules vary by country, so confirm what applies to you.
Frequently asked questions
What should an upholstery receipt include?
Include the item reupholstered, fabric used (brand, colour, metres), any padding or spring work, labour time, and total received. If the client supplied their own fabric, note that clearly.
Should upholsterers charge separately for fabric and labour?
Yes. Listing fabric and labour as separate line items is cleaner and makes it easier if the client later queries the cost. It also helps you track your material margins.
How should upholsterers handle receipts for collection and delivery?
Add a collection and delivery fee as a line item if you charge for it. Note the item collected and the date, so the receipt doubles as a useful job record.
