レシート

レシート is a loanword from English "receipt," referring to the printed slip given at checkout.

KEY DISTINCTION:

• レシート: cash register receipt (printed automatically)
• 領収書(りょうしゅうしょ): formal receipt (handwritten or stamped, for business expenses and tax deductions)

You may need to specifically request a 領収書(りょうしゅうしょ) at the register if you need one for business purposes. Cashiers typically ask レシートは要(い)りますか (Do you need a receipt?).

COMMON COLLOCATIONS:

• レシートを保管(ほかん)する: to keep the receipt
• レシートを捨(す)てる: to throw away the receipt
• レシートを確認(かくにん)する: to check the receipt
• レシートをもらう: to get a receipt
