UK Payroll - Ability to process prior year employment allowance claims through Xero payroll

At the moment this isn't an available feature, and HMRCs basic PAYE tools need to be used. It would be good to see this as an option in Xero.

    Having to use a third party to do this seems unnecessary, Xero should implement such a small feature!

  • Becky Jeffery commented  ·   ·  Report

    It can be done easily on other platforms - Xero needs to keep up! It take to much time through basic tools!

    As it is so easy for clients to miss the tick box to enable employers allowance, It's a long process to do through PAYE tools. It would be very helpful to be able to submit previous years EA claims directly from Xero.

  • Margaret Deans commented  ·   ·  Report

    I thought that this had been a feature in Xero previously and was surprised when it seemed to have disappeared. Since Payroll Bureaus frequently have clients who forget to tick the box this would be an important option to have.

    I had an issue with this as well, and this would be a very important feature to add!

    Having just gone through the Basic PAYE Tool (which required downloading the programme, and going through copious documents, I think Xero could do this much better.

    Having had experienced this first hand with a client in the year ended 5th April 2024, the facility would of benefit.

    It would save the user to download third party software to do so.

  • Jake Whittaker commented  ·   ·  Report

    This would mean that customers using your service would have a much more simple procedure for claiming this past benefit and would be a lot more likely to do so. Therefore, making this possible on your software would be saving your customers money which is important!

    This would be very useful to have included in Xero.

  • Janine Boyer commented  ·   ·  Report

    often we find new clients did not claim this allowance so it would be a great way to promote the wonders of Xero and add value to their business at the outset.

    currently we have to do it using the very cumbersome HMRC PAYE Tools method - it takes ages!

    So please add this feature to make our lives and our clients lives better.

    Thanks

    I am actually quite shocked to find that this is not a feature in Xero

  • Nina Rust commented  ·   ·  Report

    This would be really useful together with the ability to correct when clients have incorrectly claimed the allowance in prior years!

    It seems so strange the Xero is so advanced but we are still relying on Basic Tools for corrections.

  • Sue Bird commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is something basic that even HMRC say my payroll package should handle easily. It's really frustrating that I have to use the HMRC basic tools and probably end up with records in Xero that are out of sync with reality.

  • Annabel Howarth commented  ·   ·  Report

    Ridiculous that such a simple solution that is available on majority of other softwares isn't available through Xero. Very long winded time consuming process to fix something that should be simple.

  • Cathy Smith commented  ·   ·  Report

    This would be helpful as your software does not work correctly on some browsers
