eInvoicing - Ability to use for non VAT registered businesses
Massive oversight by Xero.
E-Invoicing only available to VAT registered companies as you have to enter a VAT number. What about all the non-registered companies?
Why can't you select that you aren't VAT registered and be able to benefit by E-Invoicing?

Our turnover is well above the VAT threshold, but all of our services are VAT exempt. We would also like to use eInvoicing, but CANNOT register for VAT.
There seems to be a perception that if you are not VAT registered, then you must be a small company, but this is not the case..

Why no answer from Xero, I wonder?
Why no explanation as why they HAD to make it for VAT-registered-only companies? -

Agreed, I don't understand the necessity in entering a VAT number for this feature! There are plenty of not-for-profit companies which utilise Xero that are not VAT registered. Please change this feature!

Another half-baked feature.

I agree that it is a massive oversight. According to HMRC 52% of business are not VAT registered so this basically means Xero launched a useful facility that cannot be used by over half the business out there!

Many small businesses aren't VAT registered. They pay the same subscription to Xero as VAT registered businesses - they just can't claim back the VAT. So why is Xero treating them like second class citizens and denying them benefits that bigger businesses can access?
I am tired of having to manually download Xero invoices every month. Why can't this be automated?
