E-invoicing - Allow for public companies
Xero does not list a public company as eligible for e-invoicng. The Australian Tax Office site does not restrict public companies from using e-invoicing, so can this feature be turned on by Xero?
We are a small not for profit company limited by guarantee and would like to be able to access e-invoicing.
Hi Shane, while we understand why you'd like eInvoice capability for a public company - The reason we don't allow registration for type of entities is that we're unable to reliably, and automatically identify this type of business entity which means that we do not permit registration.
While we are always reviewing our security processes and balancing the risks against customer impact, there are no plans to change this restriction

Can this please be reassessed? This is one of the most common types of companies in Australia, and is as reliably and automatically checked as any other entity.

I would also like to ask that this decision be reversed. If business details are accessed via an ABN through Xero, not for profits, etc have ABNs that can be easily and reliably identified just like everyone else. This doesn't make any sense.
