Snap the receipt. That's the whole data entry. Expenses99 turns a photo of a receipt into a complete expense record: date, amount, merchant, category and tax rate, filled in for you. Use it alone as a freelancer or sole proprietor, or with a small team that needs approvals and reimbursement. It's the same app either way. WHO IT'S FOR - You face a pile of receipts at the end of every month - Receipts that mix 8% and 10% tax rates slow you down - You type invoice registration numbers by hand - Your team's out-of-pocket expenses need approval and settlement in one place - You want expenses in a format your accounting software can import SNAP IT ONCE, EVERYTHING FILLS IN - Date, amount, merchant, category, tax category and tax amount are read from the receipt - Japan's qualified invoice registration number (T + 13 digits) is captured too - Receipts that mix 8% and 10% rates get a per-rate breakdown automatically - Fields the scanner isn't sure about are flagged "Needs review", so you only double-check what matters - Merchants you've entered before remember their category - Batch entry: scan a stack of receipts in a row and submit them together - Recurring expenses: expenses you log every month are detected and offered with one tap BUILT FOR JAPAN'S INVOICE SYSTEM AND E-BOOKKEEPING RULES - Records the tax category (10%, reduced 8%, tax-exempt, out of scope) and per-rate breakdowns - Keeps the receipt image with the record, searchable by date, amount and merchant - Stores a SHA-256 hash of each image as evidence the record is unaltered TEAM APPROVALS AND SETTLEMENT - See everything waiting for approval and approve in bulk - Track approved and paid status, and settle from one screen - Admins can file expenses on behalf of members - Add members with an invite code.
