ใบเสร็จ

Explanation

ใบเสร็จ is a receipt showing that payment has been completed. It covers both an ordinary checkout receipt and a receipt kept as proof for reimbursement or accounting. ใบ refers here to a sheet or document, while เสร็จ means “finished” or “completed.” The word can therefore be understood as a document showing that a transaction is complete. Common combinations include ขอใบเสร็จ “ask for a receipt,” ออกใบเสร็จ “issue a receipt,” and เก็บใบเสร็จไว้ “keep the receipt.” The common classifier is ใบ.

Usage

It is commonly used after paying at convenience stores, supermarkets, restaurants, hotels, hospitals, and similar businesses. It also appears when requesting, keeping, or submitting receipts for returns, warranties, expense reimbursement, or accounting.

Caution

ใบเสร็จ normally proves that payment has already been made. An invoice requesting payment is ใบแจ้งหนี้, while an official tax invoice is ใบกำกับภาษี. At a restaurant, ขอเช็กบิลด้วย or เก็บเงินด้วย is normally used to ask for the check before paying.
