Learn how to ask Apple to resend you the purchase receipt for your app or service subscriptions.
Do you need a copy of your purchase receipt for paid apps and services? Maybe your company reimburses you for certain purchases, or your accountant needs the details for your tax deductions. Whatever the case may be, you can obtain receipts for subscriptions to both apps and services.
To make things even easier, you can also enable a setting to receive your future subscription renewal receipts via email. Then, just forward them to whoever needs them!
