AU Tax - Non Depreciable asset to roll forward

Currently in Xero Tax, non-depreciable assets entered into the rental schedule do not roll forward into future income tax returns (ITRs), creating unnecessary manual data entry and inconsistency.

Suggested improvement: Add support to roll forward non-depreciable assets (such as land) within the rental schedule when generating the next year’s return to maintain asset continuity and save time.

    How is it possible that one of the leading Software on the market does not have facility to roll forward Capitalised (%ZERO Depreciation) Cost Base items on the Depreciation Schedule?? This is a very basic ATO requirement, not just 'Critical' but 'Mandatory'.
    You need us - Software Users to 'propose' this as maybe a good idea?
    All other Software Providers recognise the importance of this, and have (since prior to 2000, for MYOB), accommodated this ATO requirement.
    I have a client with over 70 Capitalised items... and you suggest that I need to re-enter these annually, until you catch up with your competitors?

    A very unfunny joke, XERO... Forget waiting for enough Users to recommend it. Get cracking at making it happen.

    I agree, allowing this information to roll forward is far more efficient and will prevent errors in the future. The feature is standard in other software offerings so it should be the same for Xero.

  • Beth Devriendt commented  ·   ·  Report

    I think this is a great idea! Keeping both the depreciable and non-depreciable information together is concise, saves time not having to re-enter data in a separate spreadsheet and the client can also see this information in their tax return.

  • Christine James commented  ·   ·  Report

    If I could vote higher than critical I would.

    Without this option it creates more work having to either create a spreadsheet to ensure assets are not lost and/or further work in trying to find the cost base of assets that had already been identified.

    Surely the program needs to make life easier for the accountant rather than making it more difficult.

  • Ryan Boccalatte commented  ·   ·  Report

    Absolutely, there is no point to having this function if the assets cannot be rolled forward.

    Things like stamp duty, legal fees are important to carry forward each year to ensure capital gains calculations can be done quickly and efficiently.
