BAS (AU) - Monthly PAYG Income tax instalment

Xero doesn't currently have the option for reporting PAYG Income Tax Instalment on a monthly basis. Could Xero look into providing this option in the monthly BAS Activity Statement reporting.

Appreciate your input here, everyone. Our team has looked into this idea to better understand the needs and complexities involved, however they don't have any concrete plans for it just yet.

Rest assured that our eyes are on the ground monitoring your feedback and votes here, so please keep adding them in this thread. For the time being, I’ll move this idea into ‘Under review’ status. And if there's any movement, we'll make sure to come back here and let you all know.

    The ATO has automatically changed several of our clients to monthly PAYG instalments from 1 July. One particular client lodge their own BAS's and now can't lodge from Xero and are not impressed. They were already considering moving all of their files to a different platform so this may be the nail in the coffin so to speak. Surely this can't be too hard to change?

    Without this functionality we can't keep Xero blue and Xero green in sync which is so confusing when you are working with large teams.

    There are a few instances like this cropping up where Xero has missing functionality (future year tax returns for companies is another example) and they don't seem to get much attention.

    Really would like to see this progress and get on the roadmap for development asap.

    Hi Kelly Munro and Team,

    Perhaps you might need to reasses just "monitoring feedback and votes on this issue". This has been going on since the issue was lodged in 2022. Your platform offers a direct connection with the ATO and offers the facility to lodge activity statements directly to the ATO. Have you considered that this feature is useless and misleading given that these monthly PAYG instalment income can't even be included in the monthly reporting and lodgements? I am sure an earlier resolution on this issue would be appreciated by many.

    Kind regards,
    Feliza Tunnicliffe

    This will help immensely - the activity statements in Xero are quite confusing without including the monthly PAYG Instalments, and having to explain to the director why they need to pay more than the Xero statement.

    Could Xero look into providing this option in the monthly BAS Activity Statement reporting.

    I believe this would increase the efficiency for us to prepare activity statement.

    I am submitting Monthly IAS to ATO, and I know through Single Touch Payroll, it automatically inputs the data, I would just absolutely like to check through the reports feature through Xero too. I dont want to have to manually add up the PAYG from Payroll!! Thank you

    Another comment to request this feature please be added

    I need this too - very surprised Xero doesn't already have this feature available

  • Nigel Tooth commented  ·   ·  Report

    I need this too. I am in software development and I dont think adding this report requires a lot of time/effort.

  • Nick Cook commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please Xero can we get this fixed ASAP as Fiona has stated this is costing us time and money

  • Fiona Tyrie commented  ·   ·  Report

    Having this feature would save a lot of time for business owners.

  • Lisa Bell-Chambers commented  ·   ·  Report

    We are considered an SME and are now required to have monthly tax instalments. The fact that Xero doesn't support this is very disappointing. Please have this option included as a priority

  • Tanya Holtham commented  ·   ·  Report

    Critical for a few of my clients, would be great to get this one actioned sooner rather than later!

  • Debra O'Doherty commented  ·   ·  Report

    I have 2 clients that pay PAYG Instalments monthly - would like this to be available in BAS
