What goes on a virtual assistant's receipt?
A virtual assistant receipt confirms the client paid and records what the work covered, such as a monthly hours retainer, inbox management, or scheduling. List the service, the hours, the period, and the amount, then show the date paid and the method. Clients keep it as a business expense for their accounts.

How the work is charged
Virtual assistants usually charge a monthly retainer for a set number of hours or an hourly rate, with extra hours billed on top. A receipt restates those amounts as paid rather than owed.
Payment terms and deposits
A receipt is issued once payment clears, often monthly by transfer or upfront for a block of hours. Note the period covered, the date the funds arrived, and the method, with a copy for both sides.
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 invoice. Tax rules vary by country, so confirm what applies to you.
Frequently asked questions
What should a virtual assistant receipt include?
Include the services covered in the period, hours worked or tasks completed, the month or period the receipt covers, and total received. For retainer clients, note hours used versus hours available.
Should virtual assistants issue receipts monthly or per project?
Monthly receipts work best for retainer arrangements. For one-off projects, issue a receipt when payment is received. Either way, the receipt should clearly show what work was covered.
How should VAs handle receipts for international clients?
Issue the receipt in the currency agreed with the client. Note any payment platform used (PayPal, Wise) and keep records of the exchange rate received for your own tax records.
