PAYMENTS · VERIFICATION
Verify a receipt
Every payment to the State produces an electronic receipt carrying a receipt number, a revenue head code and the taxpayer’s Taxpayer Identification Number. Enter that number below to confirm the payment reached the treasury. No sign-in required.
Checking the revenue ledger…
What verification tells you
A successful check confirms four things: that the receipt number exists in the revenue ledger, that the payment settled to the State treasury single account, which revenue head it was applied to, and which taxpayer it was credited to. That is everything a third party needs in order to rely on a receipt, and nothing more than that.
If a number does not verify, the money did not reach the State. Keep the document you were given and report it on the whistleblower line — you are almost certainly not the only person it happened to.

What a genuine receipt carries
Five things. If any of them is missing, the document is not a State revenue receipt.
A receipt number
In the form RCT-YYYY-NNNN, unique and sequential.
A revenue head code
The eight-digit code identifying exactly what was paid.
The taxpayer’s TIN
The payment is credited to a named, registered taxpayer.
The amount and channel
What was paid, and through which accredited channel.
The date and office
When it was paid and which office raised the bill.
A bank slip is not a receipt
A teller slip is evidence that you gave money to a bank. The electronic receipt is evidence that the money reached the State and was applied to your liability. Banks may issue both; only the second discharges you. If a branch payment has not produced an electronic receipt within two working days, contact the service desk with the payment reference and the bank confirmation.
