Receipt vs Fiscal (Till) Receipt: The Difference and When to Use Each

“Receipt” (chitanță) and “fiscal till receipt” (bon fiscal) are often confused, but they are different documents with different roles. In short: the receipt proves a payment, the fiscal till receipt is issued by the cash register at a retail sale.

The receipt

• What it proves — the collection of an amount, usually attached to an invoice (e.g. cash payment of invoice FF-0001).
• Who issues it — the supplier, from the invoicing software.
• When — typically for cash collections. For bank payments, the proof is the bank statement.

The fiscal till receipt

• What it proves — a retail sale, fiscally recorded at the moment of payment.
• Who issues it — the fiscal cash register (a separate piece of equipment, regulated separately).
• When — wherever the law requires a cash register for sales to individuals.

Which one replaces which

They do not automatically replace each other. Where the cash register is mandatory, the fiscal till receipt remains mandatory — the receipt does not stand in for it. And starting in 2025, B2C sales are also subject to e-Factura B2C, which is an obligation separate from the cash register.

How facturifirma helps

facturifirma issues invoices, proformas and receipts — so for proof of a cash collection on an invoice, you generate the receipt directly from the app, linked to that invoice. The fiscal till receipt is not issued from facturifirma: it comes from the fiscal cash register, which is a separate piece of equipment.
