Just signed up for a trial on Xero but no fuel tax credit system when lodging BAS, WTF

The fact that we can't even get a 'quantity' to appear in the account transactions, doesn't hold out much hope that Xero will implement anything at all to make our lives easier :)... NOT IMPRESSED XERO

12. Years. Later.

This would also assist in the calculation of Livestock Accounting, just be adding the column for quantities.

Need litres on fuel added up on two types of fuel can this be done.

You have this feature available in two separate reports yet you cannot create one report?
How can you say you provide Activity Statements when you are ignoring a crucial part? You cannot do a complete BAS in Xero for lack of this and other features. You have the frame work. Why isn't this done?
I have noticed this is worded in many requested that have not been combined either.

Even the ability to choose 'quantity' as a field in a Transaction Report would alleviate this issue greatly.

7 May 2012 - Xero shelved this idea.

MYOB and APS does it. It is not hard to do. the old BankLink did it within a month of the request. why does xero resist this important and simple request

It has just been suggested that Xero won't be able to look at implementing this feature at the moment as they are too busy ignoring requests to keep the old reports.

It stands to reason that some businesses have to log Fuel Tax Credits therefore accounting software should be capable of calculating this. TPAR and PAYG are managed through accounting software, this should be too.

A decade later and the software still cannot calculate fuel tax credits

I can't understand why this still isn't a standard feature given how important it is for any business with heavy vehicles.

Very important for clients in the transport industry.

Very important for rural clients.

(For livestock accounting, and also Fuel Tax Credits.)
MYOB BankLink was able to do this over 15 years ago, after feedback and requests from their accounting partners.
MYOB Essentials/Business Online is now able to do this as well, as MYOB listened to their Accounting partner Requests.

Automatic calculation of fuel tax credits is a critical issue for many businesses.

The lack of an automatic calculator is impeding our ability to get clients to to convert to Xero from alternative software solutions.

it is very important we not missing this function for benefit of client cashflow.

It is perplexing that this is not already a thing!

Enter the fuel quantity next to the expense, select on road, off road, diesel, petrol etc,...

That should automatically calculate the FTC
