Enter your idea

I totally agree with everyone who have made comments. This is something that we definitely need! It is quite time consuming using the existing Payroll reports.

I agree. This function should become a standard feature, as an increasing number of our clients require it, and calculating it manually is time-consuming.

Agree with all. Add to immediate roadmap.

As much as we users enjoy the process of accurately calculating PRT liabilities by running non-editable payroll reports, extracting CSV's, manually allocating state information and running sum formulas across multiple PRT applicable fields (incl applicable sub-contract payments), the novelty rapidly wears off.

As Jodie mentions, even basic changes to introduce location information from existing people data in payroll reports would be beneficial.

Agree with everyone - report required as per @natasha tonkin comment

Totally agree with everyone who has commented that this is an important report that would make all of our lives easier. Seems like it would be a pretty easy ask - you could even allow a field in the activity summary report to filter by state in the interim. Absolutely baffling why is this taking so long?

completely agree with @sandydunn. This should be a standard report. There's no reason it should not be done. Instead of making the interface 'pretty' update the necessary reports.

This is absolutely essential in the Australian Market, and should be a standard report. Workarounds should not be necessary. Needs to be elevated above the "wider pool of ideas" into the "to do now" list.

Any news on this? It's really critical that Employers can easily extract accurate Payroll (Gross, Allowances, Super etc) figures by Australian State (based on an employee's address) by searchable dates (for Payroll tax and Workcover as reporting requirments are not always by financial years).

Urgently need a report for Australian Payroll Tax reporting that can be geberated/downloaded as a pdf, csv and/or excel spreadsheet, searchable by Australian State VIC, NSW, ACT, Qld, NT, TAS, WA (as appears on the Employees file, personal address), list with Employee name, Payroll paid date (start and finish/ALL RANGES of dates not just financial years) with columns split by Name of Employee, State, Type of Employment (ie. Part time, full time or casual), Gross Wages, Allowances, Super and amounts paid/totals etc.

Is there any update on this?

@ Xero Administrator, can you please provide step by step process, ie add the State field into the payroll. thank you in advance

All you really need to do is add the State field into the payroll report that can be run. That would make life 10x easier and doesn't even need to be a new report.

Agreed - would make life much easier when doing grouped payroll tax returns

This is ridiculous to me - Xero doesn't have any report that can be used to calculate payroll tax, let's forget about the payroll tax calculation itself.
I don't really understand how the software that's way behind on many of the (useful) reports come to be a leader in Australia.

Any movement on this? Would be great to stop using spreadsheets to calculate payroll tax in 5 different states! I would think in 2025 that this would be a standard offering by now

State based compliance for Payroll Tax and Workers Compensation means being able to report on employees by state would save a great deal of time / manual collation.

I also agree that a column in the Payroll Employee Summary report that shows the sum of gross Wages and Superannuation would be useful (unlike the reimbursement column).

I process payroll with employees in 3 states. I have to separate out their wages for payroll tax and workcover. I export the employee summary to excel and manually calculate. I also add a formula to the reimbursement column to sum the wages and super. Would be great to have that as an option to calculate as well as the employees state included.

MYOB has this function why doesn't Xero, its frustrating to have to export to excel to try and figure out these requirements. Its an important monthly obligation that Xero doesn't fill.

Yes please! Not sure why it isn't part of the reports already as most medium sized companies need to report and pay payroll tax

Agree, Xero needs to have a Payroll report for Portable LSL, Workcover and Payroll tax clients. which includes - Full name of employee, type of employment (FT, PT, apprentice or casual) Aust State they live in, Pay run 'Group' and 'Tracking' codes, capable of being selected in any date range (not just annually), Gross wages, tax, super, allowances and show 'quantity of employees' somewhere for those that have a lot of employees (100+).
