UK Payroll - Show HMRC PAYE bill on awaiting payment screen
Payroll Bill
When submitting VAT Xero now allows you to create a bill that sits on the AP pending payment. Is it possible to have a bill create for Payroll taxes linked to payroll accounts and sits on AP pending payment? This will keep the debt much more visible for companies and make reconciling much cleaner.
Thanks

Just adding my support for this suggestion — it would be a brilliant addition.
When running payroll, having the option to create bills for liabilities (Net Pay, HMRC, pensions etc.) that post straight to Accounts Payable would really help keep everything visible and reduce the need for manual tracking or reconciliation. It works so well for VAT, so bringing that same functionality into payroll would make things far cleaner and easier to manage, especially across multiple clients.
Would love to see this feature introduced!

Agree; it would be very useful in giving visibility to upcomimg payments

I also find it incredibly annoying / odd that payroll doesn't do this simple but important job!

I struggled with this because once I told a client to pay HMRC, sometimes they did and sometimes not, sometimes they would pay a random amount and causes a reconciliation headache with HMC.
So each month I now manually create a bill and this is perfect for making sure its paid on time and correctly. VAT bills do this automatically so why does payroll not do so? Therefore this would be critical to ensure that liabilities (or the AR elements) are correctly processed

I find it very frustrating that I have to create an invoice to assign my payroll payment to HMRC. The automatic creation of this invoice so the payment cold be applied would save time every month. Thank you
