Trust tax rate 39% 2025 and 33% in comparatives in annual accounts tax note
The NZ tax rate for a trust's income tax has changed in the 2025 tax year from 33% to 39% when the taxable income in the trust is $10,000 or more.
At present we are not able to have a different formula in comparatives to the formula in current year, so a modification to the If( . . ) statement in the current annual accounts tax note cannot be made that would work for 2025 and comparatives.
At the moment the only solution available per Xero Support is a custom line, with accounting staff manually entering the tax payable amount calculated externally at 33% or 39%.
It would be great if the software engineers at Xero could implement a fix for this so that an if / then formula could be used that takes into account the tax year.
Thanks

Can't understand why it hasn't been sorted out already.

would have expected this to have already been included to keep up with the changing legislation.

That's a great idea! Therefore it will never happen.
