I can't really believe this isn't actually available already. It is literally the only reason I got Xero. With Xero not helping me create a tax document it is pointless therefore I'm going to have to cancel my subscription. Would be such a simple thing to do as well. All other services you provide the bank sort of does it anyway.

An accounting package that prevents a company from filing their accounts is absolutely useless. It is nothing short of extortion to force a business to find one of your partners and pay them to file the accounts on their behalf.

I am agreeing with many of the comments below. There are products on the market that will do this (and they are cheaper), such as FreeAgent (which you can even get for free via various banks).

I already have an accountant who is a friend of mine, I don't need or want to go to a Xero partner just to pay more to enable this functionality, and there will be (and are) many who are in the same situation as me (not wanting or needing a partner).

There is no reason not to make this standard functionality for businesses within Xero organisation, especially if you already have the functionality built in Xero Tax.

At least make Xero Tax available to non-partner businesses if combining them isn't an option.

Xero, there are many things that you have gotten right, but there are a few areas you have completely wrong. This is one of them.

Please make it a priority to sort out Corporation Tax - it is quite unbelievable because it means small businesses have to pay extra money and spend extra time getting filing done.

What I find annoying is that I cannot compare my official Company House accounts with my Xero P&L as standard. I don't have time as suggested by Xero Help to make a custom P&L report, why should I, when the concept of taxable and non-taxable income / expenses is a core accounting principle.

@Xero leadership, make this a priority and get this fixed asap!

PS Separately Xero has completely messed up Fixed Assets. After all my complaining one year ago, Xero finally made an attempt to make Fixed Assets better, but there is along way to go. So it appears that Xero will actually put attention to issues where customers complain alot and loudly. So I would recommend to all small businesses, complain as loud as you can on this issue, and we might actually get this done.

Seriously cannot believe it isn't already an essential feature. Will have to look at other options. FreeAgent here I come ...

As others have said, it is crazy that we cannot file our own Compnay Accounts via Xero. This will force many people to leave Xero in favour of software that will do this :(

I agree with Chris, one of the reasons I went onto Xero was to enable me to submit my accounts electronically to HMRC, this is ludicrous that this can not be done by a micro business with just one employee and no accountant.

One of the reasons I went onto Xero was to enable me to submit my accounts electronically to HMRC, this is ludicrous that this can not be done by a small business and I have to pay an accountant to just submit my figures for me at a FEE. I have found this website, very reasonable and a one off charge

I am a qualified accountant (although my business on Xero is not accounting related).
I imagine that many corporate users (company accountant, financial controller etc etc) would also be.
Why not allow this?

This is possible via Freeagent, for example - Xero should not block this direct for companies.

I'm a digital advisor at an accountancy practice.

We have a client who has their own in-house accountant who has been using Sage Business Cloud to submit their corporation tax return and companies house return from the software.

Having reviewed Sage Business Cloud, I have found that this software doesn't work as well as as it could and would like to recommend Xero as this has better integration with all their other software. However, Xero not having this feature for business owners could make the difference. :-(

Hopefully Xero will review this decision at some point.

It would be a great features to have integrated system for our statutory compliances. This saves lots of time and protect from error of manual works.

Given software-based filing is becoming mandatory soon it is extremely disappointing that Xero has chosen to ignore the needs of its small business customers in favour of lining the pockets of the accountants.

Fortunately alternatives like FreeAgent do support filing tax yourself, so we will be migrating away from Xero in the coming year.

link above takes you to another page in which you need to enter your details so they can tell you what product you need. unfortunately, it does not have statutory accounts or tax int he list. I am not even sure why Xero advisor sent me this. Not happy with Xero. wish there was a phone number.

If we need an advisor, then allow non-accounting firms who have groups of companies to have partner accounts (assuming they have qualified staff)

It is completely crazy that Xero Tax is only available to Xero advisors when very many businesses do not have the need or desire to employ an external bookkeeper or accountant to submit their accounts and tax returns, Xero should reconsider this!

There must be lots of Accountants needing access to Xero Tax but because they don't have enough Xero clients they cant become Partners. I cant understand why this cant be an add on to book keeping if required?

I'm a very small business paying a monthly fee to an accountant and a monthly fee to Xero. I'd like to save some money and cut out the accountant and submit the end of year accounts myself. Any suggestions on an alternative software?

I quite like TaxCalc, pay for what you need and it integrates with Xero. Their simple view of returns and explanations on how to fill out each section are helpful too.

Hi,

Is there any software you recommend for me to use to file our statutory accounts for HMRC? Cant believe XERO does not allow you to do this function.
