GitHub

To download a GitHub receipt, open the Billing & Licensing pages of the account that paid, your personal account or the organization, and select Payment history. Each payment lists its date, amount and payment method, with the receipt or invoice in its own column. Add your company's tax details to receipts under Payment information.

Personal and organization accounts

  1. Open the Billing & Licensing pages for the account.
  2. Select Payment history. You see the date, amount and payment method of each payment.
  3. Download the receipt or invoice from the Receipt or Invoice column.

Putting your company details on receipts

GitHub lets you add extra information to receipts, such as the tax or accounting details your company or country requires. Under Settings, Billing, Payment information, choose Extra information and Add information. Organizations do the same from the organization's settings. GitHub recommends never putting confidential or financial details, such as card numbers, in that field.

Sales tax exemption in the US

US organizations exempt from sales tax can upload a certificate as a JPEG, PNG or PDF in the Sales Tax section of Payment information. The option only appears once your billing address is complete and the country is set to the United States. The account is marked exempt while the certificate is reviewed.

Invoiced enterprises

If your enterprise pays by invoice, open the enterprise's Billing and licensing tab and select Past invoices in the sidebar. Select an invoice's reference number to view or download it.

Billing managers

An organization can add a billing manager, such as someone in finance, who can view payment history and download receipts without access to code. Billing managers also receive the receipt by email on the organization's billing date.

GitHub receipts flowing to finance

Make your bookkeeper's mailbox a billing manager and GitHub emails each receipt there on the billing date, where email receipt capture files it alongside Copilot and Actions charges. For organizations that would rather not add another member, connect an owner account and our AI agent signs in, opens Payment history and saves each new receipt with bill fetching. Subscription tracking keeps the developer tools that renew on different days in one list.
