Dealing with paper receipts when travelling for work is often seen as a hassle. Receipts can be lost, be incorrectly submitted or be in such bad condition that it is difficult for the finance department to link them to the correct purchase. Thankfully, there’s a digital alternative.
Do you have a corporate card from AirPlus (formerly Eurocard) and use Taxi Stockholm when travelling for work? You can now have a digital receipt sent straight to your mobile phone, which can be easily forwarded to your company’s expense management system.
Never any doubt
The solution that makes this possible is called Smart receipts, and for Taxi Stockholm, which transports hundreds of business travellers every day, signing up for the service was an obvious choice.
“If you travel a lot for work, you quickly accumulate a lot of receipts, especially taxi receipts,” says Carl Vad-Schütt. “That’s why it’s natural for us to offer digital receipts. We’ve considered offering this type of service in the past, but it's important that the whole set-up feels right.” He goes on to say:
“Once we understood how the service would be integrated with our systems and that it met GDPR requirements, we didn’t hesitate. The technical solution is designed for seamless integration, and our modern platform allowed us to get started quickly.
Taxi Stockholm is the first taxi company in Stockholm to offer business travellers this solution.
“We’re happy to try out new ideas that we really believe in and we prioritize simplicity for our customers when developing our booking channels — such as the app, the web, or the national booking options available via Svea Taxi Allians. We hope this will make travelling for work purposes easier for many of our customers and reduce the time they spend on expense management.”
AirPlus Smart receipts are currently available to corporate customers with a AirPlus corporate card in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden.
How Smart receipts work:
- You pay with your AirPlus corporate card
- A digital receipt is instantly sent to your smartphone, matched with the correct transaction and forwarded to your company’s expense management system.
- This means that everything is in place, allowing you to forward your expense report for approval.

Swedish companies no longer need to keep paper receipts for accounting purposes if they have been converted into digital format? This has been the case since the Swedish Accounting Act was updated on 1 July 2024.
