ScanForTax

From receipt to report in 30 seconds

No manual data entry. No spreadsheet formulas. Just scan, review, and export.

How it works

Three steps. Under 30 seconds.

1

Snap or upload

Take a photo of your receipt or upload an image. Supports JPG, PNG, and PDF.

2

AI extracts & categorizes

Our AI reads merchant, date, items, taxes, and maps each expense to a CRA T2125 category.

3

Export at tax time

Download CSV, Excel, IIF, or PDF reports. Hand them to your accountant or file yourself.

Step 1

Snap or upload

Take a photo of your receipt right at the checkout, or upload images later from your camera roll. ScanForTax accepts JPG, PNG, and PDF — so scanned documents work too.

Batch upload — select multiple images at once to catch up on past expenses.
Tips for best scans — flat surface, good lighting, full receipt in frame. The AI handles the rest.
Mobile camera — works in any browser on your phone, no app install needed.

Step 2

AI extracts & categorizes

Within seconds, ScanForTax's AI reads every detail from your receipt. No manual data entry — merchant, date, individual items, and tax breakdown are extracted automatically.

Each expense is then mapped to a CRA T2125 category using AI trained on Canadian tax rules. A confidence score tells you how sure the AI is, and you can override with one click.

Why not just use a spreadsheet?

You could. But here's what that actually looks like at tax time.

Manual spreadsheet
  • Type every receipt by hand
  • Look up which T2125 category each expense belongs to
  • Calculate GST/HST/PST splits manually
  • Hope you didn't lose any receipts
ScanForTax
  • Snap a photo — AI does the data entry
  • Auto-categorized to T2125 instantly
  • Tax components separated automatically
  • Every receipt stored for 6 years
