Receipt scanning
Capture receipt images and review the extracted details before they are added to your expense records.
Built for South Africa
Tax records & receipt management
Keep receipts and tax records organised throughout the year
Capture expenses, scan receipts and store supporting tax documents in one South Africa-first workspace. eScripts keeps records grouped by tax year so you can review what you have before filing season or practitioner hand-off.
eScripts
South Africa-first financial record workspace
Scan everyday receipts and review extracted information before saving
Upload payslips, tax certificates and supporting documents
Keep expense and income records grouped by South African tax year
Build a clearer working pack for your own review or practitioner sharing
eScripts helps you organise and review your own records. Tax estimates, automated suggestions and document extraction remain subject to your review.
What you can do
Keep the work organised before it becomes year-end pressure.
Document Centre
Keep payslips, tax certificates, bank statements and other supporting files together instead of spread across devices and inboxes.
Expense records
Record spending with the supporting evidence nearby and separate work or business records from personal items.
Income documents
Keep employment, freelance or business income records in the tax year where you need to review them.
Tax-year organisation
Work inside the relevant South African tax year so older and current records do not become one mixed folder.
Tax Pack readiness
Bring captured information together into a structured working pack when you are ready to review, export or share.
Good tax records start before tax season
The hardest part of tax preparation is often not the return itself — it is finding the receipts, statements, certificates and notes that support the numbers. eScripts is designed to keep those records together as the year happens.
Instead of relying on memory, you can capture expenses, upload documents and review supporting evidence while the transaction is still easy to recognise.
- Receipts captured close to the transaction date
- Supporting documents filed in the correct tax year
- Income and expense records kept in one workspace
- A clearer trail for later review or practitioner support
Receipt scanning is an assistive tool, not an automatic tax decision
Receipt scanning can save time by extracting information from an image, but OCR can make mistakes. eScripts therefore keeps you in the review loop before captured values become part of your records.
The same principle applies to expense categories and other automated suggestions: they help organise information, but they do not automatically make an item tax deductible.
- Review extracted merchant, date and amount information
- Correct scanning errors before saving
- Keep the original source document available
- Confirm the business or tax relevance yourself
Bring existing records into the same workspace
You do not have to start from zero. Existing receipts, tax certificates, payslips and bank statements can be brought into eScripts so current and historical working records are easier to find.
How many tax years you can access depends on your plan. The always-free tools cover the current tax year basics, while paid plans expand history and automation.
- Current-year expenses and receipts on the Free plan
- Document Centre and income tracking from Essential
- Longer tax-year history and smarter automation on higher plans
- Unlimited tax-year history on Business
Frequently asked questions
Questions people search before they start.
Can I scan receipts with eScripts?
Yes. Receipt scanning can extract details from a receipt image, but you review the information before it is saved because OCR and automated extraction can be wrong.
What tax documents can I keep in eScripts?
The Document Centre is designed for records such as payslips, tax certificates, bank statements, medical certificates, SARS correspondence and other supporting documents you choose to upload.
Does eScripts tell me which receipts SARS will accept?
No. eScripts helps organise evidence but does not guarantee that SARS will accept a document or that an expense is deductible. The tax treatment remains your responsibility.
Can I organise records by tax year?
Yes. eScripts is built around South African tax years so current and previous records can be kept in the correct period, subject to the history included in your plan.
Can I share my records with a tax practitioner?
Yes. Higher plans include consent-based practitioner sharing so you can give access when you want professional help and withdraw access when you no longer need it.
