Xero Tax (UK) | Automatic calculation of farmers averaging adjustment
Farmers averaging schedule on personal tax. This is an averaging adjustment over 5 trading years and is essential for our farming clients.
Hi everyone, as Charlotte has mentioned below, this is not a feature we are currently planning to introduce due to other commitments. However, we will continue to monitor this ticket.
In the meantime, as a workaround, the adjustment can be manually entered in both the self employment and partnership schedule.

Please look to set this up in due course as it is fairly critical to our firm to have this in place

To clarify, this is something Xero themselves have said they are not planning to introduce. There is currently a work around but without being able to post 5 years of data, this cannot be calculated accurately and is a manual adjustment

This is already available!
If you're using the old-style layout it's hidden right at the bottom of the 'Income' section (Income averaging).
If you're using the new-style layout it actually has it's own section and is no longer hidden.

Averaging for farmers and those in the creative industries is vitally important especially with the fluctuations in profits during Covid and caused by price increases arising from the war in Ukraine
