How a Japanese receipt is laid out
A Japanese receipt, or ryoshusho (領収書), is the slip a shop, hotel or restaurant writes when you ask for a receipt for expenses. It names the payer followed by 様, shows the amount with ¥ in front and a dash after it so nothing can be added, states the purpose after 但 (for example 宿泊代として, for lodging), and dates it next to the phrase 上記正に領収いたしました, received the above amount. Since October 2023 a qualified invoice also shows the issuer's registration number, T plus 13 digits, and splits the amount and consumption tax by the 10% and 8% rates. This Japanese receipt follows the standard receipt-book slip.

FAQs
What do the Japanese words on a receipt mean?
領収証 or 領収書 means receipt. 様 follows the payer's name. 但 introduces the purpose, 上記正に領収いたしました means the above amount has been received, 登録番号 is the qualified invoice registration number, 内訳 is the breakdown, 税率 is the tax rate and 消費税額等 is the consumption tax.
What is the registration number on a Japanese receipt?
Since October 1, 2023, businesses registered under Japan's qualified invoice system print their number, the letter T followed by 13 digits. It lets the buyer claim the consumption tax credit.
Why is there a revenue stamp box?
Paper receipts of ¥50,000 or more, excluding separately stated consumption tax, need a ¥200 revenue stamp (収入印紙) under Japan's stamp tax, unless paid by credit card and marked as such. The box stays empty here; stamps are bought and attached to the paper original.
What is the difference between a receipt and a register receipt in Japan?
A レシート is the itemized slip from the register. A 領収書 is issued on request, usually with the payer's name and a purpose, and many companies ask for it in expense reports.
Are the example details real?
No. The payer, hotel, company, address, phone and registration number are fictional; the registration number is not registered with Japan's National Tax Agency.
