Jobs - Period Start Date and End Date (UK) VAT returns and Companies House
Tax obligations, such as VAT returns, can be linked to a job when you create the job. I assume the job details are pulling from the HMRC API for MTDVAT. It shows the period start date and end date and the submission due date. Why doesn't XPM a) allow us to specify a period start date, period end date and submission due date b) automatically fill these fields in c) create future jobs automatically based on the 'obligation periods' retrieved from HMRC d) automatically suggest to 'complete' the job if it knows that the VAT return has been filed - whether it was filed through Xero, or whether the VAT return was filed according to HMRC
Can you also integrate with UK Companies House API to retrieve automatically the next year end of limited company accounts - period start date, period end date, submission due date. The linkage should be automatic assuming you have entered the company registration number in XPM.
I think if XPM is going to become a true practice management solution, it needs to be able to do these automated things - whether the underlying client has a xero org or not.
