Manually edit sales tax amounts in US Corp.
I have a US corporation in Xero which primarily does business in Canada and collects/remits Canadian sales tax. The rules for a US company are not robust enough to account for Canadian sales tax.
It's common for expenses in Canada to have some combination of taxable/nontaxable amounts. In a Canadian corporation I can manually adjust the tax amount to easily manage these situations, but I can't in a US corporation. Can you add the option to manually adjust tax amounts in US corporations?6 votesThanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Ideas.

BAS - Make draft bill creation optional when lodging BAS
To have the option to remove the draft bill feature when lodging your BAS through Xero. At the moment, the system automatically creates the draft bill when lodging your BAS and we are manually going back and deleting the draft bills.
It would be great to have option to disable this feature6 votesThanks for sharing your feedback on draft bill creation during BAS lodgement. We appreciate you explaining how this impacts your workflow.

AU Tax - Pre-filling Children's Private Health Insurance
Why does Xero not pre-fill the Private Health Insurance information of someone who is on their family's PHI?
i.e. a young adult/teenager who is still on their parents health insurance. (Code F on the tax return).I am having to manually enter the information every time I create a return for one, which is frustrating given that the information is already on their ATO pre-fill report, and it prefills fine for their parents.
6 votesHi Emily! We really appreciate your feedback on this. At this moment, the information we pull is directly from the ATO exclusively for one sole return, and so won't automatically fill into the young adult/teenagers return as you've found.

Semi-Annual Sales Tax Report
The new Sales Tax Report does not allow for a semi-annual tax reporting period. The non-profit youth camp I work for pays a small amount each year, and the state has us on a schedule to pay twice a year. That is not an option that can be selected, as the only options are Monthly, Quarterly, and Annually. Please add the option for a semi-annual reporting period.

AU BAS - Consolidated Lodgment for grouped entities

NZ GST - Export file to include "GST Return" in naming convention
The new modernised GST returns in Xero no longer export the report name in the exported file name. The document only has the client name and date, not the report type anymore. Should say "XXXX Ltd 30 11 2024 GST Return", whereas it currently only says XXXX Ltd 30 11 2024". Inefficient to have to manually add the words "GST Return" for each report produced in Blue Xero when sending multiple documents to clients. Is there a way to get it back? Within the document itself it says the report type, but would be preferred to be included in the…

UK Payroll - CIS Suffered Report, Correct Xero to allocate credit notes correctly
IDEA - CIS suffered report to calculate the CIS suffered correctly.
ISSUE - If you apply a credit note to an invoice that has both CIS labour and CIS materials, Xero does not calculate the CIS suffered correctly. Even though the credit note is coded to the correct nominal code, Xero doesn't recognise this. This causes the CIS suffered report to reduce the deduction amount which is incorrect. This means the figure you submit to HMRC is lower than it should be. Meaning less of a refund of CIS suffered than it actually should be.

NZ GST - Include Payment due date on finalised/filed
Where have the GST due dates gone from the new GST Return layout?
Also would it be viable for Xero to default no GST for transactions up to a certain date considering some businesses are registered from any point during a month.

VAT rounding issue - avoid manual edits on Xero
We have to regularly edit invoices from specifics suppliers to correct pennies in the VAT boxes to ensure these match. Using up valuable and unnecessary time.
We use another software with another company that gets this spot on every time, but considering we pay for Xero we felt it would be helpful to get the VAT extraction down to 100% accuracy.

GST Audit beta - Exchange Rate for GST Purposes
We are based in Singapore. Your system does not cater very well for GST when the functional currency is not SGD.
My Xero is USD-based, hence we have to use only GST Audit Beta.
But we have to key in "Exchange Rate for GST Purposes" into our system so that when reporting to Singapore Tax authority, we have to report in SGD. There is no way to key this in, and it means keeping a seperate excel file, doubling our work. This rate is given by each supplier on their bill, and can change on daily basis. So we need…6 votes -

VAT return -Side navigation or contents pages
VAT Return - transactions by VAT Box
Hi our company VAT return is currently over 400 pages long. Reviewing it is not easy when you have the box 1 figure on page one. I then scroll to about page 65 to get to the box 4 numbers after scrolling past it 2 or 3 times.
It would be amazing if there was a navigation panel to one side that I could click and it would take me to the page of the vat return relevant to the box number I want to review.6 votes -
Create a link between personal and partnership tax that allows you to import individual partner profits into personal tax
It would be useful to be able to automatically import the individual partner profits from partnership tax directly in the partnership schedule within personal tax. This would increase efficiency and reduce the likelihood of errors.

GST default on a copied invoice defaulting to GST Inclusive / Incorrectly
A slight bug found - I just had a supplier ask why we had charged less for the last 2 months. I checked and it looks like Xero defaulted to "GST Inclusive" invoices when copying an invoice that is GST-Exclusive, even when:
1) the previous Invoice is set to "GST Exclusive"
2) the Financial settings, tax defaults, For sales is set to for"Based on last sale"
3) Note - No Contact defaults for GST set.Somehow, my $500 + GST invoices = $575 has been reduced to $500 including GST.
Previously Xero would copy over the invoice exactly, but now…
5 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing your feedback on this idea. We can see why this would be useful. We have reviewed this idea and can see that currently when you copy an invoice, the financial settings of the organisation take precedence over the settings from the original invoice.

MTD for ITSA - Facility to export a PDF of quarterly returns
It's currently not possible to export the Income Tax Self Assessment figures for the MTD for Income Tax quarterly submissions as a PDF to include them in a documents pack for client's approval via e-signature in Xero.
This would be helpful from April 2026, so accountants can gain client's approval prior to submission with HMRC.

BAS - Taxable payments annual report - GST registered or not
It would be good if on the taxable payments annual report, when it shows that the ABN has been 'provided' that this is also linked whether the ABN status is GST registered or not. This would be an easy checking tool that the GST charges has been properly done so and would make the person lodging the form to easily identify whether or not GST should be charged or not. MYOB has the function is client to check this whether its GST registered or not. Would be great for some more improvement on this making it quicker to lodge the…
