## What is Taxsy?

Taxsy turns a photo of a receipt into a tidy expense record, then gets out of your way.

Point your camera at a receipt and Taxsy reads the merchant, date, total and individual items for you. Check it and save it. Everything is filed by tax year and category with the original photo kept alongside, so at tax time you export one file and hand it to your accountant or drop it into your bookkeeping.

FREE TRIAL, THEN PAY ONCE

Your first ten scans are free, so you can see how Taxsy reads your own receipts before you spend anything. After that, buy it once and it's yours. Scan one receipt a week or twenty a day, the price is the same. There's no subscription, and you're never charged per scan. There's no account to set up, and no ads.

HOW IT WORKS

Scan. Use the camera, or import photos you've already taken.
Check. The details are filled in for you. Fix anything that looks wrong.
Export. A spreadsheet plus all your receipt images, whenever you need it.

WHAT YOU GET

• Reads receipts for you 
Merchant, date, total and line items are picked out automatically, so you're checking rather than typing.

• Only what counts as business 
Split a mixed receipt by unticking the personal items. The total updates as you go.

• Your categories, your trade 
Choose your line of work at setup and Taxsy starts you off with categories that fit: musician, contractor, driver, photographer, consultant and more. Add, rename, reorder or remove any of them.

• Every receipt photo kept 
Records are filed by tax year with the image attached, so you have the proof as well as the numbers.

• Set up for where you file 
Pick your country at setup and Taxsy uses its tax year and currency. In the US you also get the four estimated-tax periods, with each payment's due date.

• Foreign receipts converted
Bought something abroad? Taxsy converts it at the European Central Bank's reference rate for that day and shows you the rate, which you can change to your card's if required.

• Duplicate spotting 
Scanned the same receipt twice? Taxsy flags it before it reaches your records.

• Syncs across your devices 
Your receipts stay on your device and in your own iCloud Drive, and appear on your iPhone and iPad, or on your Mac in the Finder.

WHO IT'S FOR

Freelancers, contractors, gig workers and anyone self-employed who'd rather not spend an evening with a shoebox of receipts. Taxsy keeps the paperwork straight so your accountant, or your future self, has everything to hand.

YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS

Taxsy has no user accounts and keeps nothing on our servers. Your receipts live on your device and in your own iCloud. To read a scan, only the recognized text is sent for processing, never the photo, and it isn't kept. Exports go wherever you send them and nowhere else.

ONE PURCHASE, NOTHING AFTER IT

Once your free trial is used, you pay for Taxsy once and never again. Scanning isn't metered, and there's no pro version waiting behind another payment.

Taxsy helps you keep records. It doesn't file anything with the IRS or any other tax authority, and isn't tax advice.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.0 — 2026-10-11

• Scan a screenshot of your banking app or Apple Wallet transactions and each payment becomes its own record, with the right date. Money coming in is left out.
• Set a receipt's date to today with one tap.
• Create a new category straight from the category menu.
• A receipt with no date on it now gets today's date.
• Items and prices are matched up more reliably, especially on receipts photographed at an angle.
• Duplicate spotting is much better. It checks every year you've saved, and recognises the same receipt even when the shop's name comes back slightly different.
• Tap anywhere on a scan in Ready to Save to edit it.

### 1.2.0 — 2026-09-27

Taxsy now works wherever you pay tax.

• Choose your country when you set up, or later in Settings. If you're in the UK nothing changes: 6 April tax years, MTD quarters and HMRC exchange rates, as before.
• Ireland, the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand are built in, each with its own tax year and currency. In the US you get the IRS estimated-tax periods and their due dates.
• Anywhere else, pick the date your tax year starts and the currency you work in.
• Dates like 03/04/2026 are now read the way the receipt's country of origin writes them, so an American receipt scanned in the UK is read correctly.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-09-21

Taxsy is now free to download.

Your first ten scans are a free trial, so you can see how it reads your own receipts before you spend anything. After that, one purchase unlocks Taxsy forever. There's still no subscription, and still no limit on how much you scan.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-09-12

Four small changes.

• When a batch has a receipt from a different tax year, the alert now names it, with the merchant, date and amount, so you can tell a misread date from a receipt that really is from last year.
• A wide photo, like a train ticket, no longer pushes the edit screen off the sides of the display.
• The spreadsheet's columns are reordered: date, merchant and amount first, then the currency details, category, and the photo filename last.
• In Check Records, swipe left to delete a receipt that has lost its photo, or a leftover photo with no receipt.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-12

Export refinements.

• An export could leave out a receipt photo and still say it had finished. If a photo can't be included, Taxsy tells you before you share anything.
• There's a new Check Records screen in Settings. It goes through every receipt and confirms the photo is still there, so you can be sure a year is complete before it goes to anyone.
• Exports build several times faster.
• The spreadsheet is tidier. Amounts are to two decimal places, and the image filename has moved to the last column so the money columns sit together.
• Export has moved from Settings to the Summary screen, next to the totals it covers.
• It says "spreadsheet" now instead of "CSV".

You still pay once, and you can still scan as much as you like.
