Receipts and expensesLast reviewed 28 October 2026

A receipt scanner that checks the GST for you

Photograph a receipt or upload a PDF. We read the supplier, date, total and GST. You confirm each one before it becomes an expense.

Short answer
For GST purposes you generally need a tax invoice to claim a credit on a purchase over A$82.50 (GST inclusive, 2026–27). We read each receipt, flag purchases over that amount that are missing invoice details, and keep the original file.

AI can misread a receipt, so nothing counts until you confirm it.

Photo in, checked expense out

  1. Capture

    Take a photo or drop a PDF on the website.

  2. Review

    Anything unclear, such as a purchase over A$82.50 with no ABN, or GST that does not match the total, waits in your review list.

  3. Confirm

    Set the business-use share and confirm. The expense is only booked once you say so.

What is included

  • Fields read for you

    Supplier, ABN, date, total and GST. A receipt with fields we could not read clearly is flagged for you to check.

  • A review list, not guesses

    Low-confidence or odd receipts wait for you. Nothing is booked silently.

  • GST input check

    A flag when a purchase over A$82.50 is missing tax invoice details.

  • Business-use share

    Set 0 to 100% per expense.

  • Duplicate warning

    The same file, or the same ABN, invoice number, amount and date, is flagged.

  • Originals kept

    The original photo or PDF stays available to view.

What it does not do

AI helps, you decide

AI can misread handwriting, faded paper or a crumpled receipt. Fields stay editable and nothing counts until you confirm it. Kestly gives estimates, not tax advice, and does not lodge anything with the ATO.

Receipt scanner questions

It is usually right on clean printed receipts. We flag a receipt with fields we could not read clearly and ask you to check it. We do not quote an accuracy figure.
