A year of receipts, filed under the right year
Tax returns are filed against old paper. Any tool that files by upload date quietly puts last year's receipts into this year's folder — and you find out at the worst moment.
Upload date is the wrong date
Two different questions get conflated, and only one of them matters at tax time.
- Which period does this expense belong to? The date printed on the document.
- When did it enter the system? The upload date — useful, but not what a return is built from.
- File by the second and a November receipt photographed in March lands in March. Pull the November folder later and it is silently missing.
What you get instead
- Filing keyed to the date on the document, so a stack of old paper sorts itself into the months it came from.
- Both dates kept, so "what did I upload this week" is still answerable.

The part that matters most
The documents are written into your Google Drive, in a folder you named. Not our storage with an export button — your account, your folders, your files.
- We never keep a copy. The file is read in memory, written to your Drive, and dropped.
- Your documents are never used to train an AI model.

Questions
How are the folders organised?
Your root folder, then a month folder, then the category: for example Documents/03-2026/Receipts. The month comes from the date printed on the document, not the day you sent it, so a receipt from last year files under last year.
Can I ask what I spent?
Send 'report' for this month, or 'report last month', 'report march', 'report q1 2026', 'report 2026'. Send 'export' for the same period as a CSV saved to your Drive.
Does this do my tax return?
No. Docket is not tax software and does not file anything with HMRC. What it does is capture the digital record HMRC wants — the date, amount and category of each transaction — at the moment the receipt exists, and put the document in your own Drive. Then `export` hands the period over as a CSV for whoever files the return.
Do I have to keep the paper?
HMRC's digital record requirement is about the transaction data, not the scan — it accepts images but does not demand them. Keeping the photograph is still the easiest way to prove a figure years later, which is why Docket files the document itself rather than only the numbers off it. Whether you also keep the paper is between you and your accountant.

Photograph the pile. Each one goes to the month it belongs to, not the month you got round to it.
