  1. How do I attach a calculation (CGT) to a personal tax return? It's currently not possible to attach and save personal tax documents to Personal tax that will not be submitted to HMRC.

    I’ve included a link to Xero Product Ideas where you can view and support current ideas or create a new one to share your thoughts.

    Hi, thanks for raising this idea - I'll switch it across to delivered as this is something that can be achieved in Xero Tax.

    To include include your own calculations for CGT in the Personal Tax return. You will first need to add the Capital Gains schedule and check the box to indicate that you are including your own calculations.

    You can then head to the attachments page and upload your calculations.

    The Generate a personal tax return support article has information on how schedules can be added to the personal tax return.

  2. Share capital note - in many accounts production packages there is a share capital note. It would be good to have this available in Xero Tax. If not, please could you add the functionality to add a custom note, which would enable us to add a narrative and a simple table.

    Hi there, I'm pleased to let you know that a share capital note is now available! Thanks for sharing and supporting this idea 🙌

  3. I have just discovered Xero Tax can't do Trust Income pages. We need the full suite for Self Assessment.

    Hey everyone, just popping in to shift this idea to delivered! We are pleased to confirm this has now been released in UK personal tax. 

    Please select 'New schedule' and then 'Trust and estates' in order to add this income.

  4. Current Hubdoc behaviour is that the user must choose a single default document type per vendor and all documents for that vendor are treated the same. So if a credit note is uploaded for a vendor that usually sends bills, then that credit note is loaded to Xero as a bill.
    It would be good if Hubdoc could differentiate between different document types for the same vendor.

    We've reached a milestone! - Hubdoc credit note detection is now available to all Hubdoc users globally who are connected to Xero or QBO!

    As mentioned previously, when detected Hubdoc will flag the document for your review, from which you can Publish as a credit note.

    Thank you all for your feedback and contributions to this idea 😁

    • Xero Blog - Hubdoc can now detect credit notes automatically
    • Ability to update the start and due dates directly in the new job manager (currently still need to go into each job directly and edit to change these dates)

    • Ability to search for specific clients with active jobs in the search bar (currently can only search the job number and job name).

    So far our team is loving the new job manager on XPM - has made our workflow process much easier and efficient!

    Thank you for your patience! We're excited to let you know that you can now use the search bar in the All Jobs tab to look for jobs by a multitude of criteria, including client name.

    No matter how you structure your jobs, you can find the jobs relevant to the task at hand either using the client name, job description, job number or the job name - Now that you can do all this in the All Jobs tab, we've also removed the Search tab in Job Manager as it's no longer needed (All Jobs has feature parity with the Search tab).

    Appreciate starting a new idea specifically for Job start and end dates and we'll be sure to update you all there, if there's any news for this. 🙂

  5. It would be great if there could be a column added for Staff and or Manager. You can filter it by Staff by having it all in one place would be easier to workflow etc as you can customise it for month by month or whatever option, then and also Partners can then see whos working on what in one place

    Hey community, thanks for all your feedback around this idea - this is now live!

    Earlier this month we rolled out some changes to the Job Manager in XPM, and you'll now have the option to include three additional columns in the 'All Jobs' menu.

    In addition to 'Staff assigned' we've also included a column for 'Manager assigned' and 'Partner Assigned'. 

    You can see how that looks in the attached screenshot 👇🏻

  6. FX rates to be added back to new reports like they used to be in the old reports. Otherwise how do we know what exchange rate is used for conversion at any given time?

    Thanks

    Hi everyone, along with earlier reports I mentioned, our team have now expanded disclosures for foreign currency to the following reports;

    • Receivable Invoice Detail/Summary (And all common formats)
    • Payable Invoice Detail/Summary (and all common formats)
    • Contact Transactions Summary
    • Supplier Bill Activity
    • Customer Invoice Activity
    • Bank Reconciliation Summary
    • Executive Summary

    With this release we'll shift this across to delivered. If there's another report you'd really like to see this on, do start a new idea and we can begin to get a sense of the interest for that as well. Thanks!

  7. In a non resident return it would be good if Xero could prevent finalisation of the return where the PIE tax credit is in excess of what is claimable under the Tax on Taxable Income/Taxable Income x PIE Income formula. Thanks

    Hey Claire, rounding back to your idea here I wanted to confirm that when running an IR3NR return there is already a warning that'll appear if PIE tax deducted exceeds tax on taxable income.

    This will prevent the return being filed in Xero until the figures have been amended.

  8. Please could you include the Directors responsibilities paragraph in the directors report as this is best practice.

    Hi everyone, returning now a few months on from our last update and we're going to move this idea to 'Delivered' with the change the team made to FRS102 1a - New notes and disclosures + Directors report 🎉

  9. New General Ledger Summary Report - please bring back opening and closing column balances for this report.

  10. Currently when selecting "Profit/(Loss) on disposal of fixed assets" as an iXBRL tag, it only works where there is a profit, and therefore whether it's a profit or a loss, it shows it as income in the P+L on the accounts.

    Xero Support have suggested posting here to gather support for a "Loss on Disposal of fixed Asset" code that hits the Expenses categories, and changing the Income one to "Profit on Disposal of fixed asset".

    Personally, on the basis that the existing code isn't flexible, I don't know why this isn't how it was set up originally.

    Hopefully gathering…

    Hey Jason, thanks for starting this idea. We're pleased to share that this change is now live! Our product team have added a second tag for profit and loss on disposal to cater for whether that results in a profit or a loss separately. For a loss on disposal an expense tag can now be selected which will also present a loss on disposal within expenses.

  11. More complete information added to the Payment Report for personal tax, so that the Payment Reference and HMRC bank details are included as well as the amounts to be paid. Then this one page can be sent to the client and avoids a lot of additional time spent sending them separate info on how to pay and what the reference is. BTC do this really well

    Hi everyone, we wanted to come back and confirm that as part of the compliance release for the tax year 2023/24 the payment details were added to the payment report. This should be visible to you now in the personal tax product.

    The payment details default to HMRC Cumbernauld but If you'd like to change this, you can go to the Other return information schedule and "HMRC payment details" to select HMRC Shipley.

  12. Automatic exemption of national insurance contributions for clients over state pension age. In many other accounts production softwares this is already automatic and is calculated from the date of birth. The more manual input there is, the more room for error and this is something that could easily be missed by someone who is used to automatic functions.

    Hi everyone, I'm pleased to update you all that this feature has now been released! 

    Now, if you enter a date of birth and the client has a trade, Personal Tax will automatically set Class 4 NIC to exempt where the client has turned state pension in the prior year. 🙂

  13. Chart of Accounts
    Xero HQ import personalised chart of accounts, the current process does not allow the report name to be included. This requires editing of the chart once imported to the client. Would be helpful to have this field available to update the chart templates, saving staff time amending all charts.

  14. When creating a rule. Add an option to leave the description as it is. This is helpful if the client has added something onto the bank line and the rule would otherwise remove it.

    Hey Gregor, thank you for submitting this. If you want to retain the original description of your bank statement lines the best approach would be to leave the 'Description' box empty when creating a bank rule. This will prevent the bank rule from overwriting the original line with the text you've entered into the bank rule and keep it as it is 😊

  15. Tax return audit check should include whether new keypoints 34-38 have been completed

    Thanks for the idea here, Mike. Our team have made some recent updates and Xero Tax (NZ) will now provide a warning banner with suggestions to show where your tax return may require a review.

  16. The Xero Hotlink button should open an Account Transactions (new) report for that account rather than the old Transactions report, for many many reasons.

    This is now live🎉


    You can find the full release details over on our 'Xero Product releases' page. 

    Hotlinks in workpapers will now connect to the new reports in Xero. If a workpaper links to the Account Transactions, Bank Reconciliation, Aged Receivable Detail, Aged Payable Detail or Fixed Assets Reconciliation report, you'll be able to use exciting features that will help you get quick access to answers and streamline your financial analysis.

    Thanks again for all your feedback around this idea 

  17. Has anyone else had a problem with the contract control page displaying incorrect information?
    Our customers pay a 30% deposit with order, we record this as an overpayment. When an invoice is raised we transfer 30% of the deposit to pay a % of the invoice.
    On the contact control page it shows the invoice number, the total paid and the total due. But the total paid doesn't include the overpayment - so the total paid is INCORRECT.
    The contact control page does show the overpayment total reduced by the 30% paid over to the invoice so it isn't consistent. …

    Hi Amanda just popping back here to let you know that the custom column option has been added to the All, Invoices and Bills tab.

    Clicking on the ‘Column’ button opens a list of all data columns available on the tab. Select the fields you wish to see on the page, in your case: Total amount. Click Apply. This saves the default view for the tab for all the contacts in your selected organisation.

    Note - This change is per user, so the columns will not change for other users of your organisation.

  18. Annual Leave Report - I need a list of annual leave transactions (accrued and taken) for each employee that also shows their running balance.

    Hey Kali,


    You can use the 'Leave Transactions report' to see a list of all leave transactions (including accruals, balance brought forward and leave taken).


    For more information, check out our 'Leave Transactions report' article on Xero Central.

  19. The new report that replaces Customer Invoice Report called Receivable Invoice Summary, is missing a very important function, the ability to report in the currency that it was invoiced in. The report only shows the converted FX amount in AUD.

    Hi community 👋, our Reporting teams been making a lot of improvements to the newer versions of reports to enhance for the 2features we know customers value most in the older versions. 

    Recently, they released an improvements to both the Receivable and Payable Invoice Summary and Detail reports so you can now add currency columns to view invoices in the original currency they were invoiced. 

    If you prefer this view, once you've added the columns to your reports you can save as Custom to make this easily accessible any time. 😁
