UK Payroll - Add reimbursed expense to gross to net report
The gross to net report currently doesn't include reimbursed expenses, and possibly other things we haven't found yet so the net pay doesn't agree to the payslips! Please can we have a gross to net report that agrees to payslips? Failing that even a report that shows reimbursed expenses per employee would be better than nothing.

Hey all, thanks for sharing your feedback on having reimbursements show on the Gross to Net report. Currently this report only captures taxable income.
It’s been a little while since this idea was raised and we can see it's been steadily gaining support.
To help this idea gain traction, please share it with colleagues so they can vote for it too. The comment section is also open for all members to share how this feature would improve their Xero experience.

A report that does exactly what its title suggests—often referred to as doing "what it says on the tin"—is indeed considered the standard for effective communication.
When a report fails to do what its name suggests, it can lead to wasted time, confusion, and poor decision-making

If I have learned one thing today, it's that, in Xero-speak, "a little while" represents 4 years and that consensus is a thumbs-up or thumbs-down approach, a practice first adopted in the Colosseum nearly 1945 years ago.
Hey up isn't progress fascinating?

An other comment from me, how can Xero not see why this is important.

Couldn't agree more. All that is needed here is an additional column for Take Home pay. Other payroll providers can do it, so why not Xero. Seems so basic.

Absolutely agree—it's essential that the Gross to Net report includes reimbursed expenses.

I produced the gross to net for a client who's just moved to Xero payroll. I assumed the report includes expenses, who wouldn't!
This needs correcting.

A fundamental principle for us is to reconcile everything!
A very basic requirement that needs implemented urgently. -

This needs fixing ASAP!

Not sure why this isn't a priority, should be an easy fix to add to the gross to net report so that net pay actually agrees to the amounts being paid and the payroll journal!

In response to the question of when it will be fixed, I have been advised by a Support Specialist that "this is not the comprehensive timeline of a feature release that you are looking for".
Am I correct in thinking I've been told we know it doesn't work, but it's not a priority?
If so, a go-to report that payroll preparers rely on doesn't reconcile, and Xero doesn't take ownership of it.

Agreed, it also needs to be able to filter by department. The tracking functionality is great in general but it would be good if the gross to net report could be done by department/tracking category as well.

What purpose is served by a report which does not actually reconcile the Gross to Net Pay?
Why has this fundamental issue not been resolved by Xero?

Totally agree, I need this to reconcile back to my net payment figures!

I agree. The Gross to Net report is a good format and to have the reimbursements and actual Total Pay included on there would be good.
