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?

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.

It seems poor thinking in setting it up this way!

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?
