Make it possibly to assign a control account per VAT type at least, we have to run UK and Irish VAT and as an Irish company majority is Irish so cant set up MTD so have to use an external app for this and our vat report combines boit types, our Irish VAT is bi monthly and our UK VAT is quarterly so we cant even align the details on the report. We also have a German company and are completely unable to produce data to their requirements and have to manually create a csv file with all transactions for the period for that company, ideally we would like to be able to mark which transactions have been included in a return to at least run reports showing unsubmitted transactions

Further to my original request in October2023, I have spent an additional 6 hours this quarter manually journalling VAT on EU Sales from the UK VAT account to the separate EU VAT account we set up. Purchase VAT taxes can be pointed to the separate EU VAT Account but Sales taxes cannot (we have different OSS tax rates set up for each European country we sell into from our dutch branch) Why can't sales tax codes point to a separate account. This would save me a week of work a year and my client considerable money.

I'm looking into this issue right now. The minimum solution for me, would be for the WooCommerce Xero plugin to assign all VAT/GST/sales-tax from other jurisdictions to accounts other than NZ GST. That would enable me to submit my GST returns without needing any messy adjustments.

EDIT: There's a help doc for how you can handle this at present: https://central.xero.com/s/article/File-a-GST-VAT-or-sales-tax-return-in-another-country

I do not want to use Xero to prepare or submit a second (EU) VAT Return. All I want to do is attach a different VAT liability account to the OSS and Dutch21% Sale transactions so they do not go to the main UK VAT liability account. Otherwise I have to review the UK VAT account and extract anything that isn't UK related. Surely it is possible to program a different VAT account attached to a tax rate? Please forward for programming consideration.

A second VAT account for overseas VAT so that it doesn't need to be manually journaled out of the main VAT account each quarter.

Yes, yes, yes! We're considering moving away from Xero just because of the absence of multi region vat return submission!

Please add this !

Hi Xero. It is insane that all tax codes get linked to the one GST account. Many companies these days operate in multiple jurisdictions or have GST/VAT reporting obligations in multiple countries. We are not talking about branch operations here so please don't suggest having a separate Xero file. What you need to do is allow each tax code to be linked to a specific account code (e.g Australian GST linked to account X, French VAT linked to account Y, etc). Having all these different VAT/GST amounts go to the one account is insane. Please fix - this cant be that hard (cringe, but MYOB have allowed this fore ever!).

Did this ever happen?
