About
About CININTIRIKS
A receipt is only worth keeping if you can find it six years later, on the line of the form it belongs to. That is the whole idea, and the reason this product does one job rather than ten.
What it does
Photograph a receipt, upload a supplier invoice, or type one in by hand. CININTIRIKS reads the vendor, the date and the amounts, files the record against a real Canada Revenue Agency expense line, keeps the original exactly as it arrived, and gives you a summary at tax time — a CSV for a spreadsheet and a PDF of totals by line.
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| In | Receipts, supplier invoices, or a record typed by hand — JPEG, PNG or PDF. |
| Sorted | Onto a real CRA expense line, with the original attached and every uncertain reading flagged for you to check. |
| Out | One summary, totalled by line, labelled with the form your set of books uses. |
Why the CRA’s own lines
Most expense tools invent their own categories, so at tax time someone has to translate them into the lines on the actual return. We use the real ones — 178 lines across five systems, transcribed word for word from the published forms: T2125, T776, T777, the T1 itself, and the GIFI codes behind a corporation’s Schedule 125. The export matches the form instead of needing to be mapped into it.
The five are not interchangeable: the same four-digit number can mean a different account on a different form. Each set of books names one system, and a record can only take a line that exists on it — the server refuses anything else.
Six years, because that is the rule
The Canada Revenue Agency generally requires records and their supporting documents to be kept for six years from the end of the last tax year they relate to. The product is built around that period rather than around a storage tier: nothing expires, nothing is aged out, and nothing inside the period is deleted automatically. The Data Retention page sets out the whole life of a record.
Where your data lives
Your account, your documents and your records are stored and served from the Amazon Web Services Canada (Central) region, and the emails we send go out from the same region.
One step happens elsewhere: reading a document is performed by Google’s Gemini service in the United States, or another country where Google keeps facilities. The file is sent with today’s date and the list of expense lines for that set of books — never your name, email address, mobile number or account identifier — and we use the paid service, under whose terms Google does not use it to improve its products. It is named, with everything else, in Privacy §6.
Built differently, on purpose
- The CRA’s own lines, word for word. Not our categories, and not a mapping you have to undo later.
- The original, kept exactly as received. It is not re-compressed, cropped, or discarded once the details have been read from it — because six years later the image is the evidence.
- The model proposes; our code disposes. Automatic reading suggests a line; deterministic code refuses any line that does not exist on that form, and flags what it is unsure of rather than hiding it.
- Nothing is deleted automatically. A record leaves your account when you remove it or ask for erasure — never because time passed.
- No advertising, no analytics, no trackers. There is no advertising network on this site, no measurement tool, and no cookie of ours at all — see the Cookies Policy.
- Private by construction. There is no public part of this product: no feed, no shared links, no profile. Your records are readable only by your account.
By the numbers
| 178 | Canada Revenue Agency expense lines, transcribed from the published forms. |
|---|---|
| 5 | CRA systems — T2125, T776, T777, T1 and GIFI — each kept separate, because they mean different things. |
| 6 years | How long records and originals are kept, by design. |
| 0 | Advertising networks, analytics tools and trackers on this site. |
Who it is for
- Individuals filing their own return, self-employment included.
- Corporations keeping company documents apart from the owner’s own.
- Accountants and bookkeepers, with a separate set of books for each client and an export per client.
The plan decides whose returns you may keep records for; sets of books are unlimited on every plan — see Terms §6.
Where the work stops
CININTIRIKS does one job completely: keep the documents, sort them onto CRA lines, hand back totals. Preparing the return, deciding what is deductible, and keeping double-entry books are for you and your advisor. The tight scope is the point — a service that tried to do all of it would do the filing part worse. Our Disclaimer sets out exactly where our work ends and yours begins.
Who builds it
CININTIRIKS INC. builds and runs this service from Toronto, Ontario, in Canada. It is a small company, which is why the service says plainly what it does not do, and why a message reaches a person rather than a queue.
