Why UK tradespeople track expenses in Traddie
Frequently asked questions
How does receipt scanning work?
Take a photo of a receipt with your phone and Traddie reads the supplier, total, date and VAT. You check and adjust the details, then save it — no manual typing and no lost paper.
Does Traddie work out the VAT I can reclaim?
Yes. For each expense, Traddie calculates the reclaimable VAT and keeps a running total, so you can see what you can claim back on your next VAT return without doing the maths.
Can I track materials and CIS costs separately?
Yes. Expenses are organised by category — materials, fuel, tools, plant hire and more — and you can keep materials and CIS-related costs separate so job profit and subcontractor records stay accurate.
Will my expenses sync with my accounting software?
Traddie connects with Xero, QuickBooks and FreeAgent, so expenses flow through automatically. Prefer a report? Export a clean expense summary for your accountant in one click.
