Sales overview page - Option to show Invoices as GST Exclusive
Kia ora Xero Product Team,
I’d like to raise a feature request regarding how invoice totals are displayed in Xero.
Currently, the Draft, Awaiting Approval, Sent, and Awaiting Payment invoice lists always display totals on a GST (tax) inclusive basis. For businesses like ours that operate and report primarily on a GST-exclusive basis, this creates unnecessary reconciliation effort and increases the risk of error when reviewing invoices in bulk.
While we can work around this by using the Receivable Invoice Detail report set to “Tax Exclusive,” this adds extra steps and does not provide the same quick visibility as the invoice list views.
Adding a toggle (similar to what already exists in reports across all regions — GST in NZ, BAS in Australia, VAT in the UK) would deliver a significant time-saving and accuracy benefit, and make the invoice list screens consistent with how Xero already handles tax in reporting.
Thank you for considering this request — it would be a very practical improvement for tax-registered businesses worldwide.
Ngā mihi,
Ben.
