NZ Tax - Customise declaration
It would be good to be able to customise the Declaration that is just above the signing line in the Tax Returns. The default wording is quite broad, and it we would prefer to be able to customise it to reduce our risk. Clients are not always truthful in reporting all income, and we need to protect ourselves.

AU Tax - Franking account worksheet
It will be great if Xero has its own separated spreadsheet to keep the record or, ideally, import into the CTR's franking account.
Currently we have to use third party software to keep track of the franking account, and I have seen some of the tools can import from ATO Portal too via csv / pdf.

Suggestion for Superannuation Reporting Feature
Hi Team,
I hope you are doing well.
It would be wonderful to see the addition of a report or feature that clearly separates superannuation contributions into two categories: paid on time and paid late. This enhancement would significantly streamline our review process, saving time and reducing the need to manually reconcile data from the existing Super Payable and Super Paid reports.
Having a clear overview of super compliance status within a single report would also assist in ensuring accurate deduction claims and meeting ATO obligations without additional checks.
Thank you for considering this suggestion.

Unlock Tax Return Permissions
Expand the permissions of preparing tax returns, by separating the unlock function of a tax return into 3 stages:
1) Complete
2) Approve, out to sign, archive
3) FiledThe separation of duties can then be clearly identified in firms, from the following:
(1) being the worker,
(1) & (2) being the manager/director, and
1), (2), & (3) being tax lodger administration and high level management.1 vote -
Sync Email address' from Xero Tax Return to ATO Portal
Clients are constantly having issues receiving notifications of their PAYG statement. The clients who do not receive a notification (neither do we for our client) are the clients who have the ATO channel as "ATO Online" listed in the Client Communication (on the ATO portal). I have been on the phone countless times with ATO about this "Channel" and it is concluded that this does not go anywhere. To stop this, we have had to manually update the client's communication preference to email, or call through to the ATO again and have it changed to paper.
I was hoping there…

File historic tax returns through Xero tax
It would be useful to be able to file historic tax returns prior to the dates shown in Xero. I have a client who submitted his own accounts but has never submitted his own tax returns so we need to file 4 returns for him but we are only able to go back 2 years.
4 votesHi Natalia, just to make sure I'm sharing this back with the right team internally. Where abouts is your client based. Our Tax products for each region are developed separately for their own needs and regulations so this information will make sure I get it back to the right team to consider.

UK Tax - Corporation Tax Marginal Relief computation
Please can the corporation tax computation include a calculation of the marginal relief.
This would need to include the amount of associated companies and the calculation of the marginal relief amount rather than just showing the total of marginal relief.

IR10 Report Code Description
Within the report code descriptions, identifying which IR10 Key Point for NZ tax the report code will feed through to.
E.g.
Non-deductible entertainment will go to "Box/Key Point 24 - Other Expenses" and "Box 28 Tax Adjustments"This will give a little bit more visibility as to where each item will end up, particularly for the balance sheet.
If you can segregate this visibility to NZ only files as well, that would be beneficial for other countries not getting information not relevant for them.

AU Tax - Return status
It would be great to have two additional tax return status values, to more efficiently support the typical workflows of busy tax agents.
Waiting on information - return cannot progress until the client provides missing info.
Rejected - return has failed review and requires adjustment before it can be lodged.

NZ Tax - Submit a Tax Return Amendment
Similarly to iFirm, would be great to be able to make amendments to the return in Xero, mark it as an amendment, and then file from Xero rather than having to make the amendment in MyIR, then make the same amendment to the already filed tax return in Xero. Makes it harder to keep track of what has been done.

NZ Tax - Comparative Report for prior year
There should be a comparative report available for New Zealand tax returns. This already exists for Australian tax returns. It is an excellent feature that really assists with preparing returns and avoiding missing details from prior years. I would love to see this feature available for New Zealand tax returns. Thank you.

show the % RWT/DWT/ICA rate in tax statement worksheet/ Use of money interest
It would be good to see the tax rate deducted for RWT/DWT/ICA for interest and dividends when printed on the tax statements worksheet/schedules. Then you can see that the information has been entered correctly (ie 33% for tax on dividends)
Also be better to have use of money interest adding into the terminal tax date in the tax payment summary showing total payable, rather than a sentence above it!1 vote -
AU Tax | Cover letter - Add Title placeholder
Need a placeholder for title (Mr/Ms etc) for cover letters. It should be an easy implementation, as tax returns should already have that as a label. We need it for the address section of the cover letter.

Print an individual client's current year rental schedules with prior year comparative figures on the same report.
I have a client who holds 4 rental properties all of which had significant differences from the previous year creating a large increase in tax payable. They have asked for an explanation, and it would be more efficient and easier for them to understand, if the comparatives could be on the same report as the current years figures so they were only looking at 1 piece of paper for each property. You can see the 2 years information on the screen but it would be preferable for some meetings to be able to have a hard copy. Thanks

AU Tax - Add a Next button to the Managed Fund distribution
Add a next button to the managed fund distribution page in xero tax.
When a client has 10 or 15 managed fund distributions that have imported from the pre-fill you have to go back and click on the next one and it is hard to keep track that you have reviewed every single one. (And deleted the 0's this is a separate idea)
If there was a next button so you can just start at the top and work your way through all the distributions to review them it would make this much easier.

UK Tax | Company & self assessment - Access in advance of the year end
Allow us to access Xero Tax in advance of the year end - company and self assessment - as it stands we cannot even set up the details/schedules we know we will need. In other software you could load up the information before the year end date had passed to give the client an estimate of tax liability as the year progresses. Furthermore, this allows you to load information as you receive it - e.g. Company Director dividends to self assessments as you complete company accounts

Xero Tax(AU) | Hiding TFN - Also hide TFN in Distribution Income Section
In Individual income tax returns, where an individual received a trust distribution, the trust name appears to show the Trust's TFN in the name in the trust distribution income section. It will be great if the hiding TFN feature includes the hiding of TFN in this distribution income section as well.

AU Tax - Update Contact default to Tax agent/Practice name
For the first year of using Xero Tax, as the returns are new and have not been rolled over from a prior year, the contact name defaults to the Job Manager in the Xero Tax Return. There should be an option to adjust the contact default across the practice so that the Tax Agent/Practice name appears on the tax return not the job manager. There are some clients who would be upset seeing an unfamiliar name on their tax return. At present, the only way to change the contact name showing on the tax return is to manually adjust each…

Xero Tax (UK) | Prevent the auto-reversal of negative balances so we can offset debtors and creditors where necessary
This is not a simple feature request. This is a blatant fault with how Xero Tax handles asset figures.
In this particular case we have two accounts in the book-keeping records for CIS tax, because we wish to track CIS deducted by contracted on sales and CIS deducted from subcontractors separately. Transfers are made between the accounts as appropriate when liabilities are reported for payment to HMRC.
At the year end, we want to show this as a single balance. As the net result was an asset at the year end, we tagged both to an appropriate asset type. Instead…
52 votesAppreciate your input here, everyone. Our team is aware of the challenges our partners are facing around the auto-reversal of negative balance. It’s on their roadmap to investigate and provide a better user experience.
For the time being, I’ll move this idea into ‘Under review’ status. And when there's movement, we'll make sure to come back here and let you all know.
