Sales Tax Audit Report - Include Customer Tax ID numbers

VAT reporting in the EU includes ICP reporting for sales to other EU countries (aka pre-Brexit EC Sales reporting). Part of the reporting requirement is to supply the customers VAT number on the ICP return. The customers VAT number is supplied at the time of invoicing and is included on the invoice and in the customer contact details so is an existing field in Xero. To meet the ICP reporting requirements, every invoice is opened manually to find the customers VAT number which is entered against each customer on an export of the Sales Tax Audit Report spreadsheet off Xero, a very time consuming task.

    Hi Enrique

    I appreciate where you are coming from and understand the importance of this to you.

    We’re sorry you feel this way, but can assure you we're listening to your suggestions as we're committed to improving Xero for all users.

    We receive large volumes of wide ranging requests from our customers, which are all regularly reviewed, analysed and prioritised by our product team.

    A rarely submitted feature request might be superb and very valuable but may be competing against a common request that may be perceived to be less valuable. We do try to take all elements into consideration.

    The reason we don't make our Development Plan public is so that we can retain flexibility regarding features included in releases. We do mention some planned features on our blog, but as others are more susceptible to change, we'd rather under-promise and over-deliver than vice versa.

    We really hope you understand the complexities involved and don't feel we're ignoring you even though the features you've requested aren't immediately included. We also hope you continue to submit your feedback, suggestions, frustrations and comments as this really does help us to improve Xero.

    Thank you again for your feedback.

    Kind regards

    Sami

    Sales Tax Report - "Sales Tax Audit Report"
    ---
    I ask you for the possibility of inserting into the actual report only the item "VAT or TAX NUMBER" in the print box (SEE ATTACHMENT)
    I think it is a simple thing and it is a big shortcoming that a repository for managing VAT does not have the customer's VAT field.
    Currently, as an alternative, I am using the "Reference" field but I have to report everything by hand with great discomfort.

    This will eliminate a lot of the manual work of inputting the VAT reference.
