Receipt Scanner for the UK — VAT, GBP, HMRC-Friendly — FAQ

Does it separate the VAT total from the gross?+

Yes — when the receipt prints "VAT @ 20%" as a line, that amount becomes the Tax column. The Subtotal column holds the pre-VAT total; Total is the gross.

What about VAT-inclusive receipts that show only the gross?+

When VAT isn't broken out (common on small purchases), the Tax column is blank. You can add it manually using your rate before export — useful if you reclaim VAT.
