Receipt: templates and forms

The document that closes a tenancy. The receipt shows the deposit that was paid, the sums withheld and the ground for each, and states expressly whether any claims remain. If a landlord withholds part of a deposit without setting that out, the argument afterwards is conducted with no record from either side.

For employer and employee in Spain when an employment contract ends, whatever the reason. It itemises the settlement — outstanding pay, the proportional part of the extra payments, holidays not taken, any severance and deductions —, the total in words and figures, whether it is signed before a workers' representative (art. 49.2 of the Spanish Workers' Statute) and space for the employee to write remarks, for example disagreeing with an item. Both sides sign it. In Spanish.

For a creditor in Spain who has been paid a debt (a loan, an acknowledgement, a payment agreement) and for the debtor who needs proof. With the creditor's signature, it states that the amount, in words and figures, was received as full payment or as the last instalment, and that the debt is settled with its interest and costs, with nothing more to claim (articles 1110 and 1156 of the Spanish Civil Code). It can list the documents returned and the undertaking to have bad-debtor file entries removed. The signed receipt is handed to the debtor. In Spanish.
