Mantenemos cinco años de los recibos a efectos fiscales. El Servicio de Rentas Internas puede auditoría, tal como hacía ya cinco años, y hay rumores de que pueden volver incluso antes

We keep five years of receipts for tax purposes. The Internal Revenue Service can audit as far back as five years, and there are rumors that they can go back even earlier.

Receipts for heating, I have the same problem they have risen dramatically. - ray76, Sep 7, 2010
'Winter heating bills' sounds right to me. (I live in England), I haven't heard anybody say 'receipts for heating'. :) - galsally, Sep 7, 2010
I'd say "heating bills" also. - --Mariana--, Sep 7, 2010
It is a receipt for the product used for heating ,Oil ,Gas , Electricity, Solar, not for the method of heating, so we get an account for one of those products. After payng the account one gets a receipt. - ray76, Sep 8, 2010
We are realising that we all live in a different and interesting world,with our own language for for the same things. - ray76, Sep 8, 2010
Yes, but would it come naturally to say it was the receipt that ruined you? To me it's the actual bill I complain about. :/ - galsally, Sep 8, 2010
