Receipt Tracking Checklist for Sole Traders UK

Use this as a practical workflow checklist, not tax advice. Check current HMRC guidance or ask an accountant if your situation is complex.

Capture

• Photograph or upload the receipt on the day it happens.
• Check the image is complete, legible, and backed up.
• Record supplier, date, total, payment method, and category.

Add context

• Add the client, appointment, job, route, or business reason.
• Mark mixed personal and business costs for review.
• Attach mileage, invoice, or payment context where useful.

Review weekly

• Match receipts to bank or card payments.
• Fix unclear photos, missing totals, duplicates, and uncategorised items.
• Export or sync clean records before month end.
