FAQ
Questions, answered
Do you keep my receipt photos?
No. Receipt photos are never stored. We extract the details, then discard the image — no copies in our database, storage or logs. Images are sent to our AI provider (OpenAI) for extraction with storage disabled; the provider may retain API inputs for up to 30 days for abuse monitoring.

Tax labels (GST, VAT, sales tax), currency and tax-year dates follow your country.
Is this tax advice?
Tax Steps helps you organise and prepare your expense records for tax time. You are responsible for deciding whether an expense is deductible — please consult a qualified tax professional where appropriate.
Can my accountant use the exports?
Yes. Export to CSV, a three-sheet Excel workbook, a PDF expense report, or straight into a Google Sheet, for a month, a quarter, a tax year or any dates you pick.
Does it work without internet?
On your phone, yes. Receipts you save offline wait on the device and sync as soon as you're back online.
Which devices can I use?
The web app works in any modern browser today. The iPhone and Android apps are coming to the App Store and Google Play. One account works across all of them.
