Take a photo of any purchase receipt. Zufan extracts ERCA-ready line items, lets you enter monthly sales and prior-month credit, then exports one Excel file with purchase lines and your full VAT declaration.
No credit card needed. 15 free AI scans every month on the free plan.
Purchases are summed from your 4 receipts (937,934.42 ETB · 140,690.16 input VAT). Sales and last month’s credit are entered separately — all three flow into the declaration at export.
Enter amounts with or without VAT — the app calculates output VAT automatically. These values appear on the VAT Declaration sheet.
Sales > purchases → line 185 is VAT you owe this month (output minus input). Line 195 from last month pays it down first.
Line 205 is not 185 + 195. Prior credit offsets what you owe; only the unused credit carries forward. Same logic as final_repo.csv: 2,580,970.87 − 1,879,354.09 = 701,616.78.
.xlsx with both sheets; numbers above are the same in the app mock and Excel preview belowExact ERCA column layout from your templates. The 4 receipts in the app mock are the same rows in Sheet 1; their input VAT 140,690.16 is also line 170 on Sheet 2.
Receipt-by-receipt ERCA upload: vendor TIN, dates, MRC/FS, description, qty, unit price, VAT.
Section 1 taxpayer info + Section 2 lines 5–205: sales, inputs, prior credit, amount to pay, carry-forward.
Local goods, capital asset, import, general expense, and no-VAT — mapped to declaration input lines.
Values from your Sales and VAT balance cards flow into the declaration at export time.
