  1. It will be great if Xero tax can allow users to import & export to & from (from other tax software providers, i.e. HandiTax, MYOB etc.)

  2. The current livestock schedule in trust tax return (and probably others) is insufficient.

    We calculate livestock on Market Value in the Financials and inset these figures into the Tax Return, then use the Reconciliation area to bring it back to Average Cost.

    This worked perfectly fine in MYOB Tax, as we could overwrite the average cost calculation in the livestock trading schedule. However in Xero Tax we can't overwrite the closing stock value.

    The best I've been able to figure is to eschew the livestock trading schedule altogether, inserting the sale under Other Business Income and manually filling out the…

  4. Suggestion for development - We continually have problems with WFF transfers to associated entities. We have tried phoning IRD to put a halt on the account, then follow up with secure mail advising what transfers are required - however more often than not the halt is not implemented correctly. Would be great if Xero could implement something (even a tick box identifying transfers required) that would then trigger at IRD for them to hold funds pending transfer. Alternatively the WFF credit could be added into the tax returns, and transfers done via the return. (I have worked with other tax…

  5. I would like a tax screen similar to the jobs, where I can see clients tax return status, taxes owing and overdue returns. It would be useful to have the option to update a client's return to show as not required or Auto Assess.

  8. AU Tax - Error notifications. When a return is rejected by the ATO and appears in the Error tab of the Returns section of Xero Tax, an email should be triggered to alert the tax agent so that the error can be rectified immediately.

    Totally understand how notifications of errors can improve efficiency and handling of returns in Xero Tax (AU). Thanks for all your input and sharing on this idea, everyone.

    While we have a few pieces of work underway atm, this is something our team are looking to develop. We're going to move this to Under Review and as we have more info and progress we'll return to share this with you all, here. 🙂

  9. AU Tax - print return with option to exlude table items from worksheets

    Update from Xero function in Xero Tax imports all ledger items into the worksheets in the financial disclosure section which looks untidy and provides too much information when presenting to the client. A good option would be if we could summarise these items in the worksheets, which would be far more presentable.

  10. Adding a disclaimer & changing the substantiation declaration on the tax returns - our old system used to have this that the client could sign which we would like to make adjustments to but we have to manually add this on to tax returns in Xero tax.

  12. Xero Tax UK. Please could you add in the option for estimated figures as well as provisional figures as they are not the same thing!

    There is a distinction between estimated figures and provisional figures on a UK SA tax return. Currently, Xero UK SA Tax only has the option for provisional figures which means that you will come back and revisit the tax return.

    We also need the option for estimated figures which are your best and final estimate so no intention to revisit the software. Other UK tax software has this!

    Thanks for raising this, Penny. We've checked the SA100 and can see that there's only a box for stating that provisional figures have been used and this is why we only included this box.

    It'd be great to understand your expectations on what a separate estimates box would do and what you have experienced in the other software you reference. Is this for an internal note, a note to HMRC or does it create a note on the report to the client? Thanks

    Hi everyone, returning to update you on progress we'll now move this to working on it 😊

    We're currently doing work that'll make credentials saved for personal tax available in the app, as well as moving this tool into a shared area in Xero HQ, where you can save government gateway ids for filing with HMRC for company, personal and partnership tax.

  14. Hey Team
    The Sign status under the 'To sign' tab can this be changed from 'Out sign' to 'Out to sign', as it more clearly defines the status of an outstanding return.

    Hey community - just popping back in to re-open this idea 😊

    Our previous update confirmed this was possible for users in Australia, however the bulk of this group is based in the UK, where this feature is not available.

    As such, we'll be shifting this back to 'Submitted' to continue to collect votes around this feature in a UK Tax context. 

    Thanks again to everyone that's shared their vote and added their commentary in the meantime!

  19. Please make currency codes in dropdown menu in item 20 ITR display alphabetically (what psychopath decided it was a good idea to put them in a random order?). Also, it should have built-in exchange rates based on ATO average and year end data with the ability to select a methodology (i.e. Actual, Average, or Year End).

  20. Have the option to have a tick box to show a section as completed, as if you have to leave a return part completed and then return to it, (which could be nearly 2 months later) as you have requested additional information, you have to go through it all again to check what you have done whereas a tick box would show which has been done and save you some time.

    Thank you for raising this idea, Ruth. Our Product team can definitely see the benefits of adding support for this. As you will know personal tax has some permanent schedules (Client details, Attachments etc). Would you only expect to have the completed tracking against the schedules that are added or the permanent schedules as well?
