About SnapBooks
Canadian bookkeeping built for the self-employed
What is SnapBooks?
SnapBooks is Canadian bookkeeping for the self-employed. We help sole proprietors, freelancers, and contractors track receipts, send invoices, log business kilometres, track HST, and export T2125-shaped records for their accountant. SnapBooks is a record-keeping tool - it organizes your books but does not file your taxes.
Who is behind SnapBooks
Jaswant Singh
Founder - Brampton, Ontario · LinkedIn
Hi, I'm Jaswant. I'm an electrical engineer, and I'm finishing a cloud and DevOps program at Algonquin College this December. Before that, I drove a Mercedes Sprinter across the border into the US, delivering auto parts and aircraft engine components.
Alongside the driving I freelanced: websites, company brochures, business cards, and SEO. Being a driver and a freelancer meant being my own bookkeeper, with receipts, kilometres, invoices, and HST to keep straight for the CRA.
I build software for a living, so I made the tool I wanted for that job: snap a receipt, log the kilometres, send the invoice, and hand your accountant records that are already in T2125 shape. I also run Hirely, a CRM for hiring teams.
SnapBooks is a one-person company. When you write to hello@snapbooks.ca, you are writing to me.
Legal Information
Important Disclaimers
Not a tax filing product. SnapBooks organizes CRA-required records but does not prepare or file tax returns. Always consult a professional accountant for tax filing.
Vehicle expenses. SnapBooks calculates vehicle deductions using the T2125 actual expense method: business-use % (business km divided by total km from odometer) multiplied by total vehicle costs (insurance + loan interest + fuel receipts + maintenance receipts + registration). Tag gas receipts as Vehicle - Fuel and repair receipts as Vehicle - Maintenance so they count automatically. The CRA 73¢/km rate is the employee allowance only and does not apply to self-employed T2125 filers.
HST registration. You must register for HST once taxable revenue exceeds $30,000 in a single calendar quarter OR across four consecutive calendar quarters. Rideshare and taxi drivers must register from their first fare. SnapBooks alerts you at $25,000 and $30,000 but is not a substitute for professional advice.
CRA rates. Tax rates and rules are updated periodically. Always verify current rates at canada.ca.
