What is a bilag (receipt/voucher)?

In short

A bilag is the documentation behind an entry in the books — typically an invoice or a receipt. No bilag, no deduction.

In practice

Receipts must be kept for 5 years, for most businesses digitally in a registered bookkeeping system. With Numina you just send the receipt via app or email — we handle the rest.
