Verify receipts against TRA

Why this matters

A supplier can print a receipt that looks genuine but is not registered in TRA's system. Without verification, you would not know. If TRA later audits your books and finds receipts that do not match their records, those expenses are rejected — meaning you owe the VAT you thought you had claimed.

Amaniq can check every receipt with a Z-number against TRA's verification portal and tell you whether TRA recognises it.

How to verify a receipt

1. Go to Expenses → Receipt List.
2. Click on any receipt to open the detail view.
3. Click Verify with TRA (or look for the verification status badge).
4. Amaniq checks the Z-number against TRA's portal and returns one of these results:

Status	Meaning
✅ Verified	TRA recognises this receipt. The supplier name and VRN match.
⚠️ Mismatch	TRA found the Z-number but the supplier details do not match what you stored. Review carefully.
❌ Not found	TRA does not have a record for this Z-number. The receipt may be fake or the Z-number was entered incorrectly.

Bulk verification

You can run verification across all your receipts at once:

1. Go to Tax Tools → Tax Verification.
2. Optionally upload a CSV export from TRA's portal for comparison.
3. Amaniq shows you which receipts are verified, which have mismatches, and which are not found.

What to do with a failed receipt

If a receipt fails verification:

1. First, check whether the Z-number was captured correctly. OCR sometimes misreads digits. Open the receipt, click Edit, and correct the Z-number manually.
2. Re-run verification.
3. If the receipt still fails after correction, it may be a fake. Flag it (see Flag a suspicious receipt) and do not claim input VAT on it.

Flagged receipts are automatically excluded from your VAT return. You do not need to remember to exclude them manually.
