Enter your idea

We have multiple super funds winding up in 2024 - it would be much more convenient to be able to lodge the future year return electronically rather than having to lodge paper forms.

We support this idea and need the ability to lodge future tax forms for other entities where they close down during the year and wish to wind up their affairs prior to the end of the current financial year.

Hear Hear!

Currently finalising a Deceased Estate that is being wound up, but is going to have to sit on the shelf for five months because the Partner doesn't want to lodge a paper form and Xero refuses to listen to customer requests.

Extremely needed as already indicated by many practitioners. Its a shame it hasn't already been implemented a year and a half later since the feature has been requested. A more affordable competitor like LodgeiT has it available. Cmon Xero!!

Future year tax returns being available for all entity types would assist in lodging returns for companies that are to be deregistered, deceased estates and partnerships that are finalised before the end of a financial year, etc. This is really important for practitioners.

Extremely frustrating that this is not already available.

I'm not sure how useful this product ideas page actually is. Do the developers actually read it? This particular issue was raised back in 2022 and there is still no action on this. There's also not much point sending emails to people that have previously commented on a product idea to let them know someone else supports the idea. This is preaching to the converted. Hopefully the developers actually get notified every time another person comments on an idea. Otherwise, what is the point?

Future year tax returns being available for all entity types would assist in lodging returns for companies that are to be deregistered, deceased estates and partnerships that are finalised before the end of a financial year, etc. I saw an enquiry on the ATO community page about someone who had lodged a future year tax return for a company through their SBR-enabled software (which appears to be the only way the ATO will accept a future year return for a company). So it is possible. Xero please make this available in the next update. I can't understand why this has only been made available for individual ITRs. Catch up Xero.

Not having this feature making winding up companies and SMSF's much harder

Critical when winding up companies and super funds

Yes, it is quicker compared to manual submission, especially when the company needs to wind up.

When winding up a company or a trust, a tax return needs to be created as part of the process. Without the ability to create a tax return, it makes the process difficult.

This is a critical matter when preparing CTR for wound up companies that require early lodgement for finalisation.

This is very important to Tax Agents

Deceased estates requires earlier trust returns. It gives us more expediency in finalising a deceased estate.

It will allow us to finalise the Companies and Trust immediately instead of having to wait until the new financial year to lodge the FINAL Tax return.

This will allow us to shut down companies and trust immediately, instead of having to wait until the end financial year to lodge the final tax return and shut down the company/trust.

Completing an "early lodging" tax return is a common occurrence for multiple entity types - winding up entities, deceased estates - so this feature should be made available urgently.

The ability to settle a deceased estate before the end of a financial year is critical.

This would be very handy Xero please enable this feature for other entity types.
