  2. Currently the 'Reason for reducing payments on account' on the 'Payments on Account Screen' of personal tax is limted to 100 characters. It's not enough!

    Thanks again, John - Happy to confirm that this is now in place and you'll find you shouldn't be restricted to 100 characters any longer. We've lifted it up to the 0000's 😁

  3. It's not currently possible to tick box 53 of the UK ITR CGT pages to state that the return contains a valuation - can this be added. Otherwise the software is not useable when you have a CGT disposal with a valuation or estimate

    Hey Wendy, 👋 thanks for raising this idea. I'm popping in to switch it across to delivered! We recently rolled out the ability to tick box 53 for NRCGT, so you will be able to do this going forward 🎉

  4. Tax Payments – It would be good if we could have a BULK unapproved feature in all tabs, i.e. approved, sent, ignore.

    At the moment we have to click on each client and unapproved which is very time consuming.

    Hey community, thanks for sharing this idea - it’s now live in NZ Xero Tax 🎉

    You can now unapprove multiple payment reminders at once. To do this:

    1. Go to Tax > Payments
    2. Click on either the Approved, Changed or Sent tab
    3. Select the reminders to be unapproved
    4. Click the Unapprove button
    5. Click Yes to confirm

    Thanks again for all the feedback around this idea! If there's further improvements you'd like to see in Xero Tax, be sure to share them with our team here on Product Ideas.

  5. Currently, in the UK you can export an iXBRL file from Xero Tax but if you try to import that file into other tax software it is not compatible and creates an error message in the other software.
    This is an issue at my firm as the Tax department insists on using Alphatax for all CT Returns and this has meant that we cannot use Xero Tax to prepare statutory year-end accounts as we have to prepare the iXBRL tagging file in other software that is compatible with Alphatax.

    Thanks for your input on this one, Louisa. Xero Tax now offers the option for our partners to continue utilising the automation and efficiencies of our accounts production tool for FRS 105 and FRS 102 1A and then export the iXRBL file into your existing Corporation Tax software, such as AlphaTax, to file the CT600. If that's the workflow for you, you'll notice some cool tweaks to the process such as the ability to manually adjust the tax provision in the accounts from the dashboard before filing them with Companies House. After creating a new filing you'll see the option on our 'Filing Options' screen where you can elect to prepare the CT600 in Xero or file it externally.

  6. To have the ability to customise/edit cover letters in Xero Tax.

    Purpose: This will make clients who have different trading names and legal names can easily edit it.

    In order to file a self assessment tax return for self employment income on a cash basis this needs to be selected from within the self-employment schedule.


    Below the accounting period start & end dates there is a Yes/No toggle to switch over to 'Yes' if cash basis is being used in the accounting period 🙂

  8. To include customer’s BSB and account number in the ELD form.

    Hey community, great news! 

    We’ve made some updates to the ITR forms, and you’ll now see a section labelled ‘Your Banking Information’ with the customer’s BSB and Account Number.

    Because of this change, we’ll be shifting this idea to delivered 😄

    Hey community, thanks to everyone that added their votes and feedback to this idea!

    Understand that previously, determining the estimated tax payable by the trustee of a deceased estate involved a bit of manual calculation work. I’m happy to confirm that this can now be calculated from within Xero Tax.

    For the steps to calculate this, and a bit more info, we've updated our Xero Central article ‘TRT – Cover and Income sections

  10. The new Suspend Tax Returns feature for Xero Tax is great! However could this feature please be applied to activity statements as well?
