Currently a Xero customer can chose to include or exclude late claims in a GST Return. What most Xero customers don’t appreciate is if they chose no then the late claim adjustment vanishes until their accountant prepares the year end reports. This can leave a client vulnerable and oblivious to significant errors over the course of a year. In my opinion at the vary least if a client says no then the late claims should be progressed to the next GST period. A phase two development could be providing the option of what adjustments can be included and what should progress to the next return. Currently as an accountant i need to be able to identify adjustments as mistakes or material errors for which a voluntary adjustment in a past return is required. Using your current approach it is often uneconomic to investigate return by return how the variance has been collated. A third phase of development would be for your GST Reconciliation output and input numbers to link to a page of numbers rather the random unidentifiable number which appears now. Xero GST works well for clients who are always consistent but for those who edit transactions or process credit card statements out of cycle it’s a nightmare.
