Activity Statement - Ability to revise through Xero

Revise Activity Statement / IAS via Xero when a client has lodged their own IAS/BAS. It would be beneficial for tracking purposes if Xero offered the facility to unlock a submitted BAS/IAS to review & amend and relodge with the ATO. Whilst these can be revised via ATO Portal there is no tracking or record of an amendment in Xero

    Is the feature of BAS amendments in Xero coming soon as currently we have some clients who lodge their own, however if they forget to turn off the "Unfiled amounts is on for this statement' they will accidentally lodge incorrect BAS due to adjusted figures us accountants may have made in the meantime for previous periods. Please fix as soon as possible. thank you

    This is a must - you are miles ahead of MYOB, but this seems to be the only thing they have on you! And sadly correcting BAS returns is a regular thing as clients always forget about non bank payments. So please look into this.

    Another vote for Xero to prioritise this. Seems like a pretty basic feature that should already be in place

  • Sophie Storm commented  ·   ·  Report

    Since BAS amendments can be made with the ATO, this feature should absolutely be available in Xero. It also shouldn’t affect unfiled amounts, as maintaining accurate records and keeping the Xero file up to date is essential. Compared to other accounting systems, I find Xero the most challenging to use for BAS, and the lack of this feature only makes it harder!

    Having the same issue after we revised our BAS manually with the ATO (now our Xero record can't be updated to match because there is no option to revise / retract) even though our Xero isn't connected directly to the ATO - frustrating

  • Kelley Bohn commented  ·   ·  Report

    Hmmmm, BAS statements should be able to be revised via Xero

  • Denise Twigger commented  ·   ·  Report

    As a BAS Agent we should be able to be able to revise a BAS if the client has made a mess of doing the lodgement themselves otherwise our balance sheet is never going to balance and the time involved is a WASTE of time.

    For small business owners I would think this is very important. Please review this as a matter of urgency. THANKYOU!

    I cant comprehend how such a basic function is not available in Xero. Is Xero working to correct this?

  • Zak Palmas commented  ·   ·  Report

    This needs to be made available ASAP. If it's available through the ATO portal why would it not be available here

  • Robyn Welch commented  ·   ·  Report

    Surprised that this isn't an option - other accounting software I have used could be done without going direct to ATO portal. Please Xero make this available so our Xero records are correct

  • Caroline Bell commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is something that when needed is critical and results in incomplete records within Xero. I completely agree with Jeanette in that the ATO will allow this through the portal, so there should be no reason why we cannot also lodge amendments through Xero.

  • Jeanette McCartney commented  ·   ·  Report

    I have come across this issue in the last few days and as its only when you have a problem that you find a issue. I cannot see why we are unable to do this as the ATO will allow this via the ATO Portal.
