GST & VAT Expense App — Scan Receipts for Tax Time

How it works

Receipts in, tax-ready report out

Capture spend through the period, then export a clean report when BAS or VAT is due.

1

Pick a tax template

Choose an expense or invoice template and set your GST/VAT rate. The tax column and totals are wired up for you.

2

Snap receipts as you go

Photograph each receipt at the moment of spend. The AI reads the amount and tax, even offline — no end-of-quarter pile.

3

Export for tax time

Export to Excel, PDF or CSV — GST/VAT broken out as real formulas — and hand it to your accountant or file it yourself.

GST & VAT broken out — as live formulas

No more re-keying receipts into a spreadsheet at quarter end. The tax is separated out automatically and stays a real formula you (or your accountant) can check.

GST/VAT in its own column as a working formula
Status tracking — paid, pending, overdue — carries to exports
Localised for AU/NZ (BAS), UK (VAT), US (sales tax / 1099) and more
Send to your accountant as Excel, PDF or a PIN-locked link

No catch

The three things everyone asks

Is it safe?

Personal data — emails, phone numbers, IDs, card numbers — is scrubbed before the AI ever sees it. Images are processed under a zero-data-retention agreement.

Goes to my accountant?

Yes — export to Excel, PDF or CSV, or a PIN-locked web link. The Excel opens in Sheets and Numbers, formulas intact.

Setup?

Pick a template, set your tax rate, snap. Works offline — capture at the moment of spend and it processes when you reconnect.

Not just receipts

It reads any business document

Receipts are one of 45+ templates. Scan or import invoices, quotes, work orders, timesheets, delivery dockets and more — each becomes a clean, tax-ready spreadsheet.

FAQ

GST, VAT & tax-time questions

Does LensReport calculate GST or VAT?

Yes. Tax templates break out GST or VAT as a separate column written as a real working formula, so your tax totals recalculate live in Excel, Google Sheets or Numbers. You set the rate the template applies.

Which countries does it support for tax?

LensReport is localised for many regions including Australia and New Zealand (GST/BAS), the UK (VAT), the US (sales tax and 1099) and more. You choose the template and the tax rate it uses.

Can my accountant open the report?

Yes. Export to Excel, PDF or CSV, or send a PIN-locked web link. The Excel file opens in Excel, Google Sheets and Numbers with formulas intact — ideal for handing to a bookkeeper or accountant.

Is my data safe?

Yes. Personal data such as emails, phone numbers, card numbers and government IDs is scrubbed before the AI ever sees it, and images are processed under a zero-data-retention agreement.
