NZ Tax - Add warning on IR4J if 7E and 8D are zero
NZ Tax -New item added Audit Check orange warnings - a check that advises the preparer that IR4J boxes 7E (Total Credits) and 8D (Total Debits) if they are zero and is this correct. This would check that the IR4J has been completed as this is occasionally missed
The audit check button should be available before the return is completed

Xero tax - Separate 'Client To Sign' & 'Tax Agent to Sign' lists
The current 'To Sign' list is a combination of tax returns that might be out for signature with the client, or ready for the tax agent to sign. At the moment there is no way for our tax agents to tell which tax returns are ready for them to sign.

AU Tax - Trust tax returns | Foreign income should flow through to ITR and CTRs
Currently, only some distribution amounts flow automatically from a Trust tax return to the Individual and Company beneficiary returns, and others have to be manually entered. There is also no clear area to enter these items into the individual and company returns.
This leaves room for error and causes efficiency and quality issues.
Our previous system handled this very well. It had a specific schedule for this type of distribution income.All distributed amounts, including capital gains and foreign income should be auto transferred to the correct labels into the beneficiary tax returns.
53 votesHi team, as Hannah mentioned Capital Gains Tax (CGT) portion of this idea was delivered end of last year. So for 2023 tax forms - CGT events from a Trust Tax Return will distribute into an Individual Tax Return. Read our previous update for more of the detail on this.
In relation to the idea for foreign income to flow through to the Individual Tax Return - this is something our team are working on at present. We've slightly updated the title of this idea now for foreign income and will return to share when there's progress on this.

UK Xero Tax - R&D intensive for period prior to 1st April 23
I see you have recently livened up the functionality for R&D Intensive Companies to claim 14.5% tax credit, but only for accounting periods commencing on or after 1st April 2023. Will you be adding functionality for companies with periods commencing prior to 1st April but ending after 1st April 2023? We have some clients with December 2023 year ends who are R&D intensive and would like to claim the additional relief for expenditure from 1st April 2023.
Thanks

Xero Tax (UK) | Prevent the auto-reversal of negative balances so we can offset debtors and creditors where necessary
This is not a simple feature request. This is a blatant fault with how Xero Tax handles asset figures.
In this particular case we have two accounts in the book-keeping records for CIS tax, because we wish to track CIS deducted by contracted on sales and CIS deducted from subcontractors separately. Transfers are made between the accounts as appropriate when liabilities are reported for payment to HMRC.
At the year end, we want to show this as a single balance. As the net result was an asset at the year end, we tagged both to an appropriate asset type. Instead…
40 votesAppreciate your input here, everyone. Our team is aware of the challenges our partners are facing around the auto-reversal of negative balance. It’s on their roadmap to investigate and provide a better user experience.
For the time being, I’ll move this idea into ‘Under review’ status. And when there's movement, we'll make sure to come back here and let you all know. -
AU Tax - Xero Tax Trust Estimate For ALL Trust Types
We need a Trust Estimate to be included in Trust tax returns for ALL types of trusts. Xero recently added a trust estimate but it is for Deceased Estates Less Than 3 years only. This is not useful. This type of trust is a very small percentage of the trusts that our firm has.
We need the estimate to be able to calculate -
- Deceased Estates More Than 3 Years
- Discretionary Trusts where there are Foreign Beneficiaries
- Discretionary Trusts where there Minor Beneficiaries
- Discretionary Trusts where there is no beneficiary presently entitled36 votes -

Xero Tax(NZ) - Losses carried forward
Losses carried forward have to be manually entered into XPM tax each year. It would be great if the information flowed through automatically from the tax return so that all we have to do is confirm it matches the IRD assessment. At a minimum it would be great if the losses to carry forward figure from 2023 automatically rolled forward to 2024 once it has been confirmed.

Xero Tax(AU ) | Business Schedule - Individual Worksheets
We have some clients that have multiple businesses under their personal names. Can we please have individual worksheets for each business to input income and expenses which then automatically totals into the business schedule in the main form?
At the moment in XERO tax, we need to put the grand totals into the business schedule, then split the amounts across the businesses for each expense/income line item. This is not practical as we generally receive separate figures for each business, not a grand total.

Xero Tax (AU) - Map Tracking categories in tax return
Allow mapping of tracking categories in Xero Tax.
Xero Blue is better catered for tracking category use as opposed to subaccount creation, however, tracking categories from Xero Blue are unable to be mapped in Xero Tax. Therefore, manual entry is required to populate multiple schedules in Xero Tax.
Example:
• Client has two Rental Properties, therefore will have two Rental Schedules in the ITR
• Income from both properties is mapped to a singular GL Account ‘Rental income’
• The Income in Xero Blue file is segregated by tracking category option, e.g.
o Tracking Category: Property
o Category Options: Property…10 votes -
Xero Tax (UK) - Add CAI (Chartered Accountants Ireland) as an option for Accountants' Report type
As a UK accountancy practice based in in Northern Ireland, it would be great if our Regulatory Body, Chartered Accountants Ireland was available for us to choose as an out of the box Accountants Report. This would then allow us to use this for Company Accounts and then to use the 'default report' option for Sole Traders, who require a different type of Accountants Report.

AU Tax - Basic tax calculator/estimate
A quick individual tax calculator - just requires taxable income and PAYG to be entered - and the tax, offsets and medicare is auto calculated. Tick box for resident, tax free threshold and private health.
Handisoft has a tax calculator that does this - the estimated tax is calculated in 10 seconds. Much better and quicker than the ATO's calculators (and the ATO doesn't do current year - only prior).

AU Tax | Cover letter - Add Title placeholder
Need a placeholder for title (Mr/Ms etc) for cover letters. It should be an easy implementation, as tax returns should already have that as a label. We need it for the address section of the cover letter.

AU Tax - Remove 0 in managed funds pre-fill from ATO
We have noticed an error, where, when managed fund distributions are prefilled from the ATO, a zero is put in the Item 24 - Other Income
This causes an error for each managed fund prefill that needs to be manually fixed by going in and deleting that entry in the schedule.
I just recently had a client with 15+ managed fund imports (owned jointly with his wife, so same issue on her side) which meant I had to waste quite a bit of time going into each schedule, only to delete the zero at the bottom.
If you could arrange…

AU Tax - Bulk Update Staff Access Feature in Xero Tax
The ability to bulk update staff access to client tax returns in xero tax. Currently, the only way to change staff access to certain clients in the xero tax feature is to go into each client file and change it individually. A bulk update function would be more efficient and less time consuming.

Preview
It would be great to be able to preview returns on screen rather than having to export to PDF.
3 votesHi Heather, thanks for sharing here however do you mind sharing a little more what you mean when you're previewing 'returns' would this be within new invoicing, or bills? The preview option should open an invoice in the same window without having to download as a PDF?

Xero Personal Tax (UK) amount due column
We have been trying to match up a self assessment refund we have received for a client but can't find the matching amount.
Would be possible to say add an extra line onto the dashboard which shows that year's tax return amount to be paid or refunded.

AU Tax - Ability to create future tax forms for other entity types.
Ability to have future tax forms generated for multiple entity types and not just individuals. This will enable practitioners to prepare tax returns for entities that have substituted accounting periods much before the due dates without having to request extensions from the tax office also will give us the ability to work out the timing differences on tax profit more accurately rather than relying on spreadsheets etc.
221 votesHiya team, we understand the importance of being able to get ahead and create future tax forms in Xero. While work for this isn't underway just yet, we have plans to develop Company Tax Returns(CTR) for the future over the next 12 months. We know there are some in the idea here very much interested in Trust Tax Returns(TRT), however these will be further out, after CTR's.
We'll keep you updated on any progress of this in the idea here. Thanks
