✨ New Features

Save Your HMRC VAT Submission Receipts

The system allows you to prepare your VAT return using data from your bills and invoices. A “Print VAT Return” button has been added, enabling you to save a copy of your VAT return after a successful submission to HMRC.

Enhanced Reporting

We have improved the filtering of the report data to be more intuitive. This update brings several improvements to the Reports page:

Reports will now display all months within your selected date range, even if some months have no transaction data, ensuring a complete chronological overview.

You can quickly sort the “Grand Total” column to see the highest or lowest values.

Edit Purchase and Sales Details on Mobile

Managing bookkeeping on the go is essential. We identified the need to expand the editing capabilities within our mobile app.

You can now edit details for purchase and sales documents directly from the Receipt Bot mobile scanner apps. This allows for quick corrections and updates, enhancing your productivity wherever you are.
