Snapceipt

Snapceipt does the boring bit of bookkeeping for you. Snap a receipt and it reads the merchant, amount, tax and category automatically — so your records are ready when tax time arrives. Snapceipt reads receipts from Australia, New Zealand, the United States and Canada — in their own currency and sales tax / GST. WHY SNAPCEIPT • Snap & done — capture a receipt and the details are extracted for you. • Reads AU, NZ, US & Canada receipts — totals, tax and merchant, wherever you bought it. • GST & BAS for Australia — GST is tracked so your quarterly BAS is a few taps, not a weekend. • Quotes & invoices — send quotes and tax invoices, and track who's paid. • Separate business & personal — keep profiles apart with one tap. • Logbooks & budgets — mileage, work-from-home hours, and spending caps in one place. • Email receipts in — forward digital receipts and they land in the right profile. • Private by design — no ads, no third-party trackers, and we never sell your data. Snapceipt is co-developed with Hannah Xia, a CPA Australia member, so its GST and BAS handling reflects real Australian tax practice. Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest.
