Canadian tax-deduction tracker · iPhone · Android · Web
Every receipt is a deduction. Stop losing them.
Claimable is the expense tracker for self-employed Canadians, freelancers, and small businesses. Scan a receipt and it lands on the right CRA line (T2125). At tax time, you get totals by line number. Copy them into your tax software or hand them to your accountant.
Built in Canada for Canadian tax law.
14-day free trial · No credit card to start · Encrypted, stored in Canada
Exactly the numbers your T2125 asks for. No manual categorizing.
A missed deduction is tax you overpaid.
Every $100 receipt you lose is roughly $20 to $50 handed to the CRA, depending on your bracket and province. Coffee with a client in March, the USB-C hub in July, the airport parking in November. None of them make it to your return if they’re not captured and categorized.
Claimable gives every receipt a CRA line number the moment you scan it. At tax time you’re copying totals, not digging through bank statements trying to remember what a $47 charge at Staples was for.
CRA line mapping works across all 13 provinces & territories, on the T2125, with a 7-year audit trail.
Why this exists
Built by a Vancouver software engineer who spent too many hours mapping expenses to CRA line numbers in a spreadsheet. By day I work in fintech, building research tools for investment analysts, so I know what auditable financial records should look like. Claimable is the tool I wanted but couldn’t find. One that actually understands Canadian tax forms instead of bolting Canadian labels onto a US product.
Built in Vancouver, BC
Early signal.
Claimable is new. No astroturfed review wall. Here’s what the first people to see it said, attributed honestly.
“I don’t know how I went this long entering every expense into Excel by hand.”
“This has real potential to help people with their taxes throughout the year, not just in April.”
$2,750.13
in deductions the founder found running his own app business on Claimable. Every receipt attached, every dollar mapped to a CRA line.
Built around how the CRA actually works.
Real form numbers, real line items, real provincial tax rates. Not a generic expense tracker with a Canadian flag on it.
CRA line-item mapping
Every expense category maps to a real CRA line number. “Office expenses” is line 8810 on T2125. “Motor vehicle expenses” is line 9281. The categories aren’t suggestions, they’re the actual fields on the form you’ll file.
Provincial tax is auto-calculated - HST in Ontario, GST+PST in BC, GST+QST in Quebec - and input tax credits are tracked per expense. Set your province once.
Supported form: T2125 (self-employment / business)
Receipt scanning
Snap a photo or upload a PDF. The app reads vendor, date, line items, and tax - then suggests the CRA category. You confirm or correct. On Pro, the original file stays attached to the expense for audit.
Upload multiple receipts at once and review them in sequence. Duplicate detection flags receipts you’ve already logged.
Compliance & filing
GST/HST filing
Draft-to-filed workflow with auto-calculated ITCs, GST collected from invoices, and provincial filing periods (monthly/quarterly/annual).
Tax summary & export
PDF and CSV exports organized by CRA form. Full audit package bundles receipts, CCA schedules, and change history.
Tax year filing & lock
Mark a tax year as filed and Claimable freezes that year's records. Past-year amendments are blocked unless you unlock.
Smart tracking
AI capital-asset detection
When you log a big-ticket item, Claimable suggests the right CCA class and flags it for depreciation instead of full write-off.
Line-item splitting
Mixed receipts (Amazon, Costco) split into individual lines. Each item gets its own CRA category and CCA flag. Exclude personal items with one tap; totals recompute.
Duplicate receipt detection
Matches on vendor, amount, and date, against existing expenses and within the current upload batch.
Canadian-first details
CCA depreciation
Capital assets tracked by CRA class (1-55) with the half-year rule. Depreciation schedule generated at export.
Invoice tracking
Client invoices with auto-calculated GST/HST by province. Scan incoming invoices or create your own.
Multi-currency
USD expenses converted at the Bank of Canada daily exchange rate (published 16:30 ET) for the date of purchase.
From first purchase to filed return.
Add your income sources
Add each of your self-employment businesses. Claimable maps them to the T2125 and sets up matching expense categories.
Log expenses as they happen
Type it in or scan a receipt. Each expense gets a CRA category and provincial tax calculation; Pro keeps the original receipt file on record.
Export and file
Download totals by CRA line. Enter them into your tax software or hand them to your accountant. Keep the audit export in case the CRA comes looking.
Three things Claimable is not.
Knowing what a tool won’t do is half of trusting it.
Not bookkeeping software
No double-entry ledger, no bank reconciliation. If you need a general ledger, use QuickBooks. Claimable is built for the tax return, and for the people who were never going to maintain a ledger.
Not filing software
Claimable doesn’t NETFILE. It produces the exact numbers your T2125 asks for, so the filing step (you, your tax software, or your accountant) takes minutes instead of a weekend.
Not a tax advisor
It organizes and computes; it doesn’t give advice. Complex situations still deserve a professional. If you have an accountant, Claimable makes you their favourite client. Better yet, get them on it: there’s a portal where they review your book during the year and pull the year-end package themselves.

Where your data lives, who can read it, what we won’t pretend.
Tax records aren’t a blog post. Plain answers to the questions you should be asking before you hand an app your receipts.
Where it lives
Canada.
Your account, financial records, and encrypted receipt files are stored and processed in Canada. Scanned receipts leave Canada only at the moment of scanning (see Who reads your receipts).
Who reads your receipts
OpenAI, briefly, when you scan.
Scanning sends the full receipt image to OpenAI’s API to read the vendor, date, amounts, tax, and category. Not used to train their models. Retained up to 30 days for abuse monitoring, then deleted. Scanning is optional. Every field can be typed by hand.
Encryption & access
Encrypted at rest, redacted internally.
Receipt files are encrypted on disk with Fernet authenticated encryption (AES-128) and served over TLS 1.2+. Passwords use bcrypt with per-user salts, and every receipt carries a SHA-256 integrity hash. Our internal admin tools redact receipt contents by design, so support and operations don’t read your financials.
Data selling
Never.
We don’t sell personal or financial information. No ad trackers in your browser. Cookies are essential-only: session and theme preference.
SOC 2
Not certified.
We’re a small Canadian team and haven’t been through a SOC 2 audit. If that’s a hard requirement for you, Claimable isn’t the right fit yet. We’d rather say so upfront.
Leaving
Export anytime. 30-day delete.
Full export (PDF + CSV + receipts) available anytime from the app. After account closure, personal data is deleted within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.

Common questions.
What CRA form does Claimable support?
T2125 (Statement of Business or Professional Activities), the form self-employed Canadians use to report business and professional income.
Do I still need an accountant?
Claimable handles tracking and organization. Many users file their own returns using Claimable's totals. If your situation is complex, an accountant still has a role - but they will have much less work to do.
How do I use Claimable at tax time?
Export your totals by CRA line item and enter them into your tax software or hand them to your accountant. No manual categorization, no guessing which box.
What if I haven't registered for GST/HST?
You can still track input tax credits and understand your position. Claimable will show you when you are approaching the $30,000 registration threshold.
Which provinces does Claimable support?
All provinces. HST in Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and PEI. GST+PST in BC, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. GST+QST in Quebec. GST only in Alberta and the territories.
What happens to my data if I cancel?
You can export everything before cancelling. Records are kept for 30 days after account closure, then permanently deleted.
Is Claimable audit-ready?
Yes. Full change history is kept on every expense, and every original receipt is stored as an unalterable file. Claimable exports a complete audit package as a ZIP with PDFs, CSVs, receipts, and a full audit trail. Exports generated during the free trial are watermarked until you subscribe.
How much does Claimable cost?
Every account starts with a 14-day free trial with full access: unlimited receipt scanning, running totals by CRA line, GST/HST tracking, and the year-end toolkit. After the trial, Pro is $249 CAD/year (or $49 CAD/month). During the trial you can use everything, though tax summary and audit exports are watermarked until you subscribe. After the trial your data stays read-only and you can still export the raw CSV anytime. Cancel anytime.
