Manual Journals - Import as tax inclusive
The template for importing journals is setup tax inclusive, but once imported, Xero defaults to tax exclusive and a journal including tax transactions therefore doesn't balance until you go into the draft journal itself and change back to tax inclusive!
Would be useful to be able to globally set whether imported journals are tax inclusive or exclusive. Presumably in the "Tax Defaults" section of Financial Settings.

I agree - but would add in the 'No Tax' option as well, not just inclusive and exclusive. It could just be another field on the journal import as obviously the 'Tax Defaults' don't seem to do anything at the moment for these imports

Please allow the manual journal entries to come in as tax inclusive, right now every single entry imported has to be changed to be tax inclusive.

Yes - before allowing the import of my tax inclusive template data, Xero checks to ensure that the journals it contains are valid. When it is satisfied that they are, it changes them to tax exclusive, rendering them invalid, and proceeds with the import. How does that make any sense? Luke's suggestion above would work, or perhaps a tick box on the import screen allowing you to toggle between tax exclusive/inclusive.

This feature would be extremely useful.
