Does the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) accept digital receipt photos instead of paper originals?

Yes. Under CRA Information Circular IC78-10R5, digital photos and PDFs of paper receipts are 100% legally accepted for business tax deductions and audit defense, provided they clearly show the vendor, date, items purchased, and tax paid, and are retained for 6 years.

What is the difference between CRA Form T2125, Corporate T2 Schedule 125 (GIFI), and Form T776?

Unincorporated sole proprietors and contractors report business expenses on Form T2125. Incorporated companies (OpCo, HoldCo, or Medical/Realty Professional Corporations) report expenses on a T2 Corporate Return using Schedule 125 (GIFI codes). Landlords report rental property expenses on Form T776. Xpns Cloud supports all three—plus your Personal T1 medical and charity slips—under one login.

How does Xpns Cloud handle GST/HST-Exempt professions like doctors, dentists, mortgage agents, and residential landlords?

Under CRA Excise Tax Act Schedule V, healthcare practices, mortgage brokers, financial advisors, and long-term residential landlords cannot claim GST/HST Input Tax Credits (ITCs). When you set an entity to GST/HST-Exempt in Xpns Cloud, the app sets ITC claims to $0 and automatically keeps 100% of the unrecoverable sales tax bundled inside your deductible business write-off.

What is the difference between CRA Line 8320 (Job Materials) and Line 8810 (Office Supplies)?

On CRA tax schedules, Line 8810 is strictly for administrative office stationery (pens, printer paper, postage). Lumber, hardware, drywall, and parts bought at Home Depot or RONA for client jobs belong on Line 8320 (Materials / Cost of Goods Sold) or Line 8811 (Field, Shop & Clinic Supplies).

Can I forward digital email receipts and SaaS invoices directly into Xpns Cloud?

Yes! Simply forward digital PDF invoices, software receipts (Google Workspace, AWS, Adobe), or supplier emails from your registered email address to receipts@xpnscloud.com. The platform automatically extracts the vendor, line items, and taxes, and syncs them directly into your designated business entity.

Why is Xpns Cloud more cost-effective than QuickBooks Online for owners with multiple businesses or corporations?

QuickBooks Online charges $35 to $75+ per month for every single corporation. If you run an Operating Company, a Holding Company, and a rental property, Intuit forces you to pay $105 to $225+ every month. Xpns Cloud Pro gives you up to 10 entities (Sole Props, Corporations, and Rentals) plus an isolated Personal T1 profile for just $21.99/month flat, with instant 1-click profile switching.
