The Shoebox of Shame

Every taxpayer knows it. The shoebox (or drawer) full of fading thermal receipts that we swear we will "organize later." But "later" usually means "the night before tax day," and by then, the ink has faded and the context is lost.

The Cost of Disorganization

If you lose a \$50 receipt, you aren't just losing \$50. You are losing the tax deduction. If your effective tax rate is 30%, that lost receipt just cost you \$15 in cold hard cash.

The SparkyMinis "Snap & Vault" Method

We designed our expense engine to be faster than stuffing a receipt in your wallet.

Step 1: Snap

Open SparkyMinis on your phone. Hit the Quick Action (+)** button and select **Expense. Use the camera icon to snap a photo of the receipt immediately.

Step 2: Tag & Toss

Tag it: Select `Office Supplies`.

Tax Chip: Tap `VAT 5%` (or your local equivalent).

Toss it: Throw the paper receipt away. You are done.

Step 3: Audit-Ready Forever

The image is instantly uploaded to your Secure Vault. Even if you look for it 5 years from now, it will be linked to that specific expense entry, backed up, and audit-ready. Try the Expense Camera →
