What's New in PocketReceipt

2.4.0

November 8, 2026

Year end details, in More: tell your accountant what each capital item is (tools, equipment, a van or a car) and if you sold or scrapped it. You can also record the hours you worked from home each month (with the HMRC flat rate shown), your stock at the start and end of the year, and goods you took for your own use. Receipts you add now keep the business use you choose (Mixed or Private, with the business percentage) and the business purpose you type. Recurring expenses are now added to your records on each due date. A quarter you have locked is left as it is. Advertising or entertainment: scanned receipts in this category now ask which one it is, as HMRC treats them differently. New document types for your tax return: P60, P11D, interest and dividend statements, pension statements, Gift Aid and Child Benefit letters. Tax Forecast now tells you when the £1,000 trading allowance may be worth more than claiming your expenses. Your accounting method is now the same in your Business Profile and in Reports. For your accountant: receipts dated 6 April are now included, and your invoices, vehicle details, mileometer readings and the previous tax year are shared too.

User reviews

Excellent receipt manager

I don’t need a whole suite of accounting software - just an app that manages the receipts I accrue in a given tax year. This is that app. The developer is INCREDIBLY responsive and helpful - five stars for that alone. I’m looking forward to seeing how this app develops (leading to a desktop version, I hope). Superb.
