Receipt → MTD reads a photo of a receipt and stores it with structured data — merchant, date, total, VAT and category — so VAT returns and Making Tax Digital become a download instead of a shoebox. Extracted figures are automated best-reads of your photos, not tax advice — give them a glance before your return, and check anything unusual with your accountant.

Send a photo

Take a photo of the receipt and send it as a WhatsApp image. GraftG reads it and replies with the merchant, total, VAT and category.

Review your spend

Reply RECEIPTS for your latest, or RECEIPTS MAY (any month) for that month’s breakdown.

Get the monthly summary

On the 1st of each month, GraftG emails a summary grouped by category with total spend and reclaimable VAT. Need a spreadsheet? Export any month as CSV from app.graftg.co.uk/receipts.

FAQ

What does GraftG pull from a receipt?

Date, merchant, total, VAT amount and a category (materials, tools, fuel, meals, etc.). If anything is unclear it makes its best estimate.

Will my receipts get lost?

No. The photo and its data are stored and searchable, so a faded paper receipt is no longer a problem.

Is it ready for Making Tax Digital?

Yes — everything is stored with structured data and a monthly category summary, ready for your VAT return.
