How it works

Three steps.
Zero paperwork.

1
📷

Snap the receipt

Send a photo of any receipt — Woolworths docket, Uber confirmation, Officeworks invoice, cafe bill — to the Telegram bot. Any language, any currency.

2
⚡

AI reads and structures it

In 2 seconds, computer vision and neural networks read all the text, extract each item with price, GST, and quantity, then categorise the expense automatically.

3
📈

Your Excel, automatically

Type "excel" and receive your monthly file with every receipt organised by date, merchant, category, and GST amount. Ready for your BAS or tax agent.

Why it matters

Tax law requires proof for every deduction claimed.

The ATO's substantiation rules under Division 900 mean no receipt equals no deduction. New record-keeping regulations in Australia and across the Asia-Pacific make digital organisation essential. LessTax automates compliance.

AU Australia ATO requires receipts kept 5 years from lodgement. GST substantiation essential for BAS input tax credits.
SG Singapore IRAS requires GST-registered businesses to retain tax invoices for 5 years. Input tax claims need proof.
NZ New Zealand IRD requires GST records kept 7 years. Sole traders need invoices for all GST input credits.
JP Japan NTA qualified invoice system (輪引举保存方式) requires receipts archived for 7 years.
KR South Korea NTS requires tax invoices (세금계산서) retained 10 years for VAT credits.
UK United Kingdom HMRC requires receipts for all business expense claims. Self-assessment records kept 5 years after filing.

Snap it. Save it. Claim it. Never lose a deductible expense again.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know

How does LessTax scan receipts?

+

Send a photo of any receipt to @LessTaxBot on Telegram. The AI reads all text, extracts each item with price and GST, detects the country and currency — in 2 seconds. Works with Woolworths, Coles, Uber, Officeworks, and any other receipt.

Does it extract GST for my BAS?

+

Yes. LessTax reads the GST component from every Australian receipt and records it separately in your Excel export. This makes it straightforward to calculate your input tax credits for quarterly or annual BAS lodgement via myGov.

What languages does LessTax support?

+

LessTax reads 50+ languages including Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Arabic, Thai, Vietnamese, German, French, Italian, Spanish, and English. Perfect for Australian freelancers who travel internationally for work and need to claim overseas expenses.

How long must I keep receipts for the ATO?

+

The ATO requires you to keep records for five years from the date of lodgement of the relevant tax return (or five years from when you prepared or obtained the record, if you didn't lodge). LessTax creates a permanent digital archive of every receipt you scan, with the original photo linked to each Excel row.

Is LessTax suitable for sole traders?

+

LessTax is designed for exactly this use case. Australian sole traders, freelancers, contractors, and small business owners can scan every deductible expense and get a monthly Excel export ready for myTax or their registered tax agent.

How does LessTax compare to the ATO's myDeductions app?

+

The ATO's myDeductions app is a useful but basic tool — it requires manual data entry for each expense. LessTax is fully automated: photo in, structured Excel out. It also reads receipts in 50+ languages, making it far more powerful for anyone working internationally or with foreign suppliers. Both are free, but LessTax saves significantly more time.

Is LessTax free?

+

100% free during the beta period with unlimited receipts. No credit card required. Affordable pricing will be announced when the beta ends.
