# Definitions

Different countries use different terms, which can cause confusion. 
Here are a few definitions that hopefully will make things a bit clearer.

### Household
Households/Organisations help sort people into collections based on their living arrangements or affiliations. Infoodle uses the term household to either describe multiple people that live at the same address e.g. family members or multiple people that work at the same address e.g. colleagues working for the same organisation. It is important to note that **Households/Organisations** are not the same as **Groups**.

### Receipts & Statements
In infoodle terms our definition of a Receipt (also referred to as Contribution Statements in some countries) is a tax document with a unique number given on receiving a payment/donation.
