How Ledger works
One pipeline for paper, email, and PDF.
A single private address per account. Forward an email, attach a PDF, or send a phone photo of a paper receipt — every path lands in the same vault, indexed by date, vendor, and jurisdiction. Originals are never overwritten.
02
Photograph receipts
Snap the cash register slip with your phone. Email the photo to your address. Same pipeline, same vault. The image is the audit artefact.
03
Structured extraction
Vendor, date, currency, total, line items, tax split (VAT, GST, HST, state sales tax). Searchable and filterable from day one.
04
Jurisdiction-tagged retention
Every receipt is held for the window your tax authority requires. Pull the audit binder PDF on demand with originals embedded.
Retention windows
Held for the period your authority actually asks for.
Audits routinely demand the original photograph or PDF, not a transcribed summary. Ledger holds both, scoped to the longest enforceable window in your jurisdiction.
UAE · FTA
5 yr
Federal Tax Authority retains audit authority for five years on businesses registered for VAT. Originals must be producible in the format issued.
Canada · CRA
6 yr
Canada Revenue Agency holds the audit window for six years from the end of the tax year, and routinely asks for originals on T2125 deductions.
US · IRS
3–7 yr
Three years on most returns, six on substantial under reporting, seven on bad debt or worthless securities claims. Schedule C filers see the most audits.
