Xero Tax (UK) - Expense tag for Loss on Disposal of Fixed Assets
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 some votes on it would be helpful!
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.
