What a musician receipt proves
A gig receipt should confirm the deposit or balance received, the event date and how it was paid, such as cash or check on the night.
In the sample, Casey Nguyen paid $2,467.60 by card for three-piece acoustic band for a two-hour corporate dinner, with cocktail-hour guitar and a sound system, so the receipt shows the full amount and a zero balance.
With a 50% deposit, issue one receipt for $1,233.80 when the deposit arrives and a second for the remaining $1,233.80, each quoting the same job.
Recording how the customer paid
- Card: card type, last four digits and the $2,467.60 charged
- Bank transfer: the date the $2,467.60 cleared and the payer's reference
- Cash: the amount handed over and any change given
- Cheque: cheque number and bank, receipted once it clears
Avoiding musician payment disputes
- Late cancellations by the client are common; a non-refundable deposit shown on the invoice and receipt keeps the cost of the lost date covered.
- Unpaid overtime is a frequent complaint, and an overtime rate printed on the original invoice lets you bill the extra half hour without a debate.
Refunds and corrections
If part of the $2,467.60 is refunded, do not edit the old receipt: issue a credit note or a refund receipt that points to RCT-5184 and states the amount returned.
