STEP 02

It's categorized

Every expense is sorted into the right CRA category — the same ones on your T2125. The AI suggests; you confirm or change it with one tap. Nothing is locked.

STEP 03

You claim the HST back

This is money most people leave on the table. If you're registered for GST/HST, LQID captures the Input Tax Credit on every eligible expense — straight off what you owe the CRA.

HST Input Tax Credits, captured
HST collected on sales$1,430.00
Less: HST you paid (ITCs)−$486.00
Net HST to remit$944.00
STEP 04

It's in your books

Each expense posts to your profit & loss, the ITCs land on your next HST return, and it's all ready for year-end — without re-entering anything.

Every scan is a suggestion you can confirm or correct in one tap. Nothing is locked in behind your back.

FAQ

Common questions

How does receipt scanning work?

Snap a photo or upload one — LQID's AI extracts the vendor, date, total, tax, and a suggested category in seconds. You review it and save.

Which categories does it use?

The 22 CRA-recognized expense categories from the T2125, so your books line up exactly with what you file at year-end.

Does it handle the meals 50% rule?

Yes — meals are flagged as 50% deductible for income tax, while the full HST is still captured as an Input Tax Credit, the way the CRA allows.

Does it claim the HST for me?

If you're registered for GST/HST, LQID captures the Input Tax Credit on each eligible expense and carries it to your next return — reducing the net HST you owe. It's an estimate to guide you, not a filing.
