Xero Tax (UK) | Additional tax relief for Research and Development intensive small and medium-sized enterprises
Under new rules in Finance Bill 2023/24 (which was given Royal Assent on 22 February 2024), R&D intensive loss making companies can claim a repayable tax credit of 14.5% where their R&D expenditure is 40% or more of their total expenditure (rather than the 10% credit that applies from 1 April 2023).
Please can you build this functionality into Xero Tax, so that the 14.5% tax credit can be claimed for R&D intensive companies.
See below for further details:

Xero tax(AU) | ITR - Add estimate disclaimer
Add an additional dot point to the Individual Return tax calc disclaimer:
. This assessment does not include Division 293 tax that might apply to taxpayers where adjusted income exceeds the Division 293 threshold. Where applicable, Division 293 tax is charged at 15% of certain superannuation contributions.47 votesHey community, thanks for raising this as a Product Idea!
Earlier this year, we added in a warning for users affected by either Division 293 or excess super contribution tax.

Xero Tax (UK) | Create accounts for company limited by guarantee
Create accounts for company limited by guarantee
1 voteHi Mike 👋, this is already possible within Xero Tax for UK users.
The wording of the accounts will automatically be adjusted when creating a set of accounts for a company limited by guarantee. These changes are driven by the Company Registration Number saved within the Organisation Settings in Xero.
For FRS 1021a you should see the statutory information note now references the company is limited by guarantee and for FRS 105 the balance sheet statements will be updated. If this isn't in line with what you're experiencing please raise a case with our support team.

Personal Tax (UK) | Foreign tax paid on employment, self-employment and other income
Foreign tax paid on employment, self-employment and other income.
On the individual self assessment tax return, we need the ability to fill in the boxes on page "F6" of the Foreign pages marked "Foreign tax paid on employment, self-employment and other income"? In particular, we need to fill in columns:
A Country or territory code
C Foreign tax paid
E To claim Foreign Tax Credit Relief put 'X' in the box
F Taxable amount5 votesI'm happy to share that this idea has been delivered! Xero Tax now supports every box on the SA106 on our existing Foreign income schedule for the 2023 tax year onwards. You can now add foreign tax on employment income, self employment income and FHL EEA profits from within the Foreign income schedule.
Thanks for supporting this idea 😊

Xero Tax (UK) - Sort and filter Dashboard
It would be helpful to be able to sort and filter the Xero Tax dashboard so you can, for example, only view the outstanding tax returns.
Currently, the order that clients are displayed is random - By tax year and alphabetically would be better
21 votesHey community, 👋 thanks for all your support on this idea, I'm popping in to switch it across to delivered! We have recently rolled out Tax Manager in the UK 🎉
Tax Manager consolidates Company accounts, corporation tax, personal tax and VAT filings into one manageable dashboard which can be sorted by;

Personal tax attachment
How do I attach a calculation (CGT) to a personal tax return? It's currently not possible to attach and save personal tax documents to Personal tax that will not be submitted to HMRC.
I’ve included a link to Xero Product Ideas where you can view and support current ideas or create a new one to share your thoughts.
1 voteHi, thanks for raising this idea - I'll switch it across to delivered as this is something that can be achieved in Xero Tax.
To include include your own calculations for CGT in the Personal Tax return. You will first need to add the Capital Gains schedule and check the box to indicate that you are including your own calculations.
You can then head to the attachments page and upload your calculations.
The Generate a personal tax return support article has information on how schedules can be added to the personal tax return.

NZ Tax - Prevent return finalisation when PIE exceeds what's claimable
In a non resident return it would be good if Xero could prevent finalisation of the return where the PIE tax credit is in excess of what is claimable under the Tax on Taxable Income/Taxable Income x PIE Income formula. Thanks
1 voteHey Claire, rounding back to your idea here I wanted to confirm that when running an IR3NR return there is already a warning that'll appear if PIE tax deducted exceeds tax on taxable income.
This will prevent the return being filed in Xero until the figures have been amended.

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…
6 votesHey 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.

Personal Tax (UK) | Add HMRC Details & Payment Reference to Payment Report
More complete information added to the Payment Report for personal tax, so that the Payment Reference and HMRC bank details are included as well as the amounts to be paid. Then this one page can be sent to the client and avoids a lot of additional time spent sending them separate info on how to pay and what the reference is. BTC do this really well
5 votesHi everyone, we wanted to come back and confirm that as part of the compliance release for the tax year 2023/24 the payment details were added to the payment report. This should be visible to you now in the personal tax product.
The payment details default to HMRC Cumbernauld but If you'd like to change this, you can go to the Other return information schedule and "HMRC payment details" to select HMRC Shipley.

Personal Tax (UK) | National Insurance Contributions
Automatic exemption of national insurance contributions for clients over state pension age. In many other accounts production softwares this is already automatic and is calculated from the date of birth. The more manual input there is, the more room for error and this is something that could easily be missed by someone who is used to automatic functions.
14 votesHi everyone, I'm pleased to update you all that this feature has now been released!
Now, if you enter a date of birth and the client has a trade, Personal Tax will automatically set Class 4 NIC to exempt where the client has turned state pension in the prior year. 🙂

Xero Tax (UK) | CT600L - R&D Tax Credits
Xero apparently creates and submits a CT600L when R&D is included on a return. I say apparently because you can't download it/see it but support assure me it is there and that is the idea, - we should be able to download this for review and aproval by client.
5 votesHey Community 👋

UK Tax - Report foreign capital gains & losses for an individual
This is NOT an idea, more an omission from the product.
FOREIGN Capital Gains (foreign CGT ON STOCKS AND SHARES) Is not available in XERO TAX.Case Ref CX0013265560
