New: Send your receipts to smarta by email

Forward your receipts and invoices to your personal smarta address – they appear automatically in your bookkeeping.

Release: [add date]

From now on, the smarta Web App provides you with a personal email address for document import. Simply forward your receipts and invoices by email. We automatically extract the information and assign it to your bookkeeping. No manual uploads needed.

Where do you find your address?

Go to Profile → Document Import. Your personal email address is displayed there automatically. Use Copy address to copy it with a single click.

How it works

Forward an email with your receipt as a PDF or image attachment to your personal smarta bookkeeping address. That’s it – the receipt is automatically added to your bookkeeping.

What is it useful for?

  • Receipts don’t need to come from your registered email address – you can forward them from any account.

  • Employees can submit receipts directly, without access to your bookkeeping.

  • Got an invoice in your private inbox? Simply forward it to your smarta address and you’re done.

  • Forward invoices from online services (e.g. Apple, Amazon, software subscriptions) as soon as they arrive – no downloading or re-uploading required.

  • Set your smarta address as the billing email with vendors so receipts are automatically delivered to your bookkeeping.

  • On the go: forward receipts directly from your phone instead of collecting them for later.

What's better than before?

Until now, receipts went to the shared address belege@smarta-steuern.de, which identified you by your sender email. Your new personal smarta bookkeeping address makes it simpler:

  • Your own address instead of a shared one: your receipts are clearly assigned to you – via the address itself, not the sender.

  • From any email address: before, receipts had to come from an address we had on file. Now any sender works – great for employees, your private inbox, or vendors sending directly.

  • Clear feedback: if something doesn't work (e.g. a missing or unsupported attachment), you'll automatically get a reply by email to the sender address.

You can find the previous method here: Forwarding a receipt or invoice by email. Both methods currently work in parallel – we recommend switching to your new personal address.

Important: The email must include an attachment (PDF or image) – we can't process emails without an attachment. Your address is personal; please don't share it publicly.

If we can't process an email (e.g. the attachment is missing or the format isn't supported), you'll automatically get a reply by email – so you always know and can resend the receipt.
