I work remotely for a UK company but my family lives in Spain. The work side is fine. The tax side has been a nightmare for years.
Two tax systems. Two currencies. My UK accountant says "talk to someone in Spain." My gestor says "I don't understand the English system." Hacienda wants the ECB exchange rate on the day of the transaction, not the rate my bank gave me. Manually looking up rates for 200+ receipts was hours of my life every quarter.
I looked for software that handles both UK and Spanish taxes. FreeAgent, Coconut — UK only. XOLO, Quipu, Holded — Spain only. Nothing does both.
So I built one. It's an AI receipt scanner that extracts line items, categorises them for both HMRC and Hacienda, and handles the exchange rates automatically. You photograph a receipt and it does the rest.
It's called Forensix — forensix.app. Free tier with 5 scans/month, no card.
I know a lot of people here deal with taxes across multiple countries. I built this specifically for the UK/Spain overlap, but I'm curious — what does everyone else use? Is anyone else just drowning in spreadsheets, or have you found something that actually works?
