Pemo helps you keep expense records complete and organized. This makes it easier for your finance team to review eligible VAT reclaims, track deductible business expenses, and maintain books that are ready for filing and review.
This article explains how to use Pemo to collect receipts, follow up on missing documents, review expenses, and export cleaner records to your accounting system.
Before you start
Pemo helps you collect and organize the records behind each expense. It does not decide the final tax treatment of a transaction.
Your finance team, accountant, or tax advisor should confirm:
whether VAT is reclaimable
whether an expense is deductible for corporate tax
whether the supporting documents are sufficient for filing and review
How Pemo supports VAT reclaims and corporate tax deductions
When a business expense has a valid receipt attached, your finance team has a stronger record to review. This is important for two reasons.
First, it helps support VAT reclaim workflows on eligible expenses. Second, it helps document business expenses that may be considered when preparing corporate tax submissions.
In practice, Pemo helps by keeping the expense record and the supporting receipt together in one place. That gives your finance team better visibility over:
supplier details
transaction amount
VAT amount
receipt status
business purpose of the spend
whether the expense needs further review
Why attaching receipts matters
Receipts are a key part of the audit trail behind a business expense.
If a receipt is missing, your finance team may not have enough information to:
confirm the expense is business-related
verify the VAT amount
check supplier details
support internal review
prepare cleaner books for filing and future checks
When receipts are attached at the time of spend, it becomes much easier to review transactions later. This reduces manual follow-up at month end and lowers the risk of incomplete records.
How to use Pemo to collect receipts earlier
The best time to collect a receipt is when the spend happens.
Use Pemo to make receipt collection part of the expense process, rather than something finance has to chase later. This helps build a complete record from the start and reduces the number of transactions that need manual cleanup.
A simple approach is:
Ask cardholders to upload receipts as soon as they make a purchase. We send a user a notification after every transaction reminder them to attach a receipt.
Review missing receipts regularly instead of waiting until month end.
Follow up on incomplete submissions before exporting data to your accounting system. See how to send reminders for recipets missing info based on your submission policies.
How to chase missing receipts using submission policies
Submission policies help finance teams enforce a more consistent receipt collection process.
You can use them to prompt spenders to submit missing receipts and complete their expense records on time. This is useful when you want to reduce back-and-forth and avoid gaps in documentation.
Submission policies can help you:
remind spenders to upload receipts
reduce missing records before month end
improve compliance with internal processes
make review easier for finance teams
This is especially important when you need a complete record before reviewing VAT recovery or corporate tax deductibility.
How Pemo helps finance review expenses
Once receipts are attached, finance teams can review transactions in one place instead of working across emails, chats, and spreadsheets.
Pemo helps organize the information linked to each expense so reviewers can check the transaction details, confirm receipt status, and identify items that need attention.
This supports a cleaner review process for:
eligible business expenses
transactions with missing information
expenses that may need a closer deductibility check
records that need to be completed before export
How accounting workflows help keep your books clean
Pemo can also support the bookkeeping side of the process.
With accounting workflows in place, your finance team can review transactions, apply coding, and prepare records before export. This makes it easier to keep your books organized and reduce manual cleanup later.
Using Pemo as part of your accounting workflow can help you:
review transactions in one place
add accounting details before export
keep receipts linked to each expense
reduce manual spreadsheet work
maintain a cleaner supporting record
Exporting records to your accounting system
Once transactions are reviewed and receipts are attached, you can export the data to your accounting or ERP system.
This helps your finance team move from expense review to bookkeeping without rebuilding records manually. A cleaner export also makes it easier for accountants to review the supporting data behind each transaction.
Depending on your setup, exported records may include:
ledger data
digital receipts
VAT summaries
supplier tax details
transaction-level supporting records
How this helps you stay more FTA-ready
Good tax preparation starts with good records.
Pemo helps by keeping transaction data and receipts together, reducing missing documentation, and making it easier to prepare clean exports for accounting and filing workflows.
This supports stronger record keeping by helping teams:
centralize expense records
reduce missing receipts
improve visibility over business spend
keep supporting documents linked to transactions
prepare cleaner records for filing and review
The goal is not to replace tax advice. The goal is to help your business keep the documentation your finance team needs in order to assess eligibility, prepare returns, and respond to future reviews.
Best practices to follow
To get the most value from this workflow:
collect receipts at the time of spend
use submission policies to reduce missing documents
review incomplete expenses before month end
make sure finance reviews transactions before export
keep exports and supporting documents aligned in your accounting system
