  2. Both the 'Finalised' and 'Filed with IR' boxes are the same colour, and both pieces of text start with 'F'. Twice, I have experienced glitches where I file the return with IR, it appears to have been submitted, but the status simply changes to 'Finalised'. Would it be possible to change the colour of one to a different colour, to help highlight the different states? Or change the text from Finalised to something like 'Approved/Ready to Submit'. I understand this is minor, and partly user-based, but I do think it could be helpful. Thanks!

  4. Need to be able to exclude non-tax clients from the tax payments report when they are only included because they have a beneficiary schedule in their family trust. Many beneficiaries of trusts are not tax-clients.

  5. I've had an issue when filing accounts on Xero tax that I reclassified an asset as a liability, and it would be helpful to have a warning pop up to let us know that Xero automatically reverses them. It caused significant issues not realising this.

  6. Currently the HMRC Agents Services Account is entered for the whole practice including all offices.
    Many practices have separate offices with separate HMRC ASA.
    Xero requires one ASA for the whole practice which is a nightmare for submitting MTD4IT Returns as the access has to be updated depending on which office is filing!

  7. I highly recommend that Xero updates the system to prevent users from saving a tracking category without creating at least one tracking option underneath it first.
    Currently, the system allows you to create a category completely empty. However, because it is empty, Xero automatically locks and grays out all filtering options in the Profit and Loss and Tracking Summary reports. This causes severe confusion, as there is no warning explaining why the reports are blocked.
    Please modify the setup wizard so that adding a tracking option is a mandatory step. This will stop other users from facing this reporting issue…

  8. It would be helpful to have a check box for each section of the tax return that marks it as completed so you know what is done and what still needs to be done.

    We find that we have to continually go back and check which sections are completed and which are not which can be time consuming, especially if you are working on multiple tax returns at once or if you are going between tax returns waiting on information from clients. An overview of some sort or a check mark beside each schedule would be very helpful.

  9. Xero has tracking categories for Profit & Loss reporting.
    Our single entity charity uses tracking categories to produce a profit and loss report by fund where the fund type is an option within a fund category.
    We need the same for the balance sheet to produce a balance sheet report by fund on an ongoing basis.
    For example, income and expenditure transactions on a bank account can be tracked, but not the bank account balance itself. Ditto for liability accounts etc.
    This would also need a tracking option/field on manual journals.

  10. Currently, Xero Tax allows a trust tax return to be completed and lodged even when a beneficiary's TFN has not been entered, despite the TFN being required in certain beneficiary statements and trust reporting schedules.
    It would be helpful if Xero included a validation check that prevents the trust tax return from being finalised or lodged where a beneficiary TFN is mandatory but has not been entered. This could work in the same way as other critical validation errors that must be resolved before lodgement.
    For our practice, this would reduce the risk of incomplete or incorrect trust reporting, improve…

  11. For journals received from a plug in like Simplepay or Payspace etc and where those journals have lines that are mixed or not in alphabetical order, be able to click on the "Description" and it sorts it automatically to alphabetical order in ascending or descending order. Same can be done for amount in the debit and credit fields or account.

  12. The new menu format does not make logical sense. You now have to scroll to see any details and in long journal postings scroll down the page due to unnecessary spacing and you cant resize the columns? In addition, why are the totals for the debit and credit columns not underneath the columns?

    Logically, it would make sense to have the description first, followed by account, debit, credit to enable easy review. The new layout appears to be more confusing than anything else. If we can re arrange the rows, can we also re arrange the columns?

    The previous format…

  13. The new menu format makes it necessary to scroll across to see ANY details for journals with long titles, instead of being able to see everything at a glance. Either wrap the titles by default or give us a toggle option to do so.

    Maybe this is just me, but I preferred having 'Description' first, followed by Account/Debit/Credit etc. when creating or reviewing a journal. If the new layout must be the default going forward, at least give us the option to rearrange columns as we can for Reports.

    TIA.

  14. It is unacceptable that two standard financial reports within the same accounting system produce different balances solely because of the system's rounding method. Such inconsistencies create unnecessary complications during reconciliations, financial reporting, and audit processes.

    Describing this as a software limitation does not address the underlying issue or its impact on users. Standard financial reports are expected to reconcile with one another, and the Accounts Payable Aging Report should match the Balance Sheet. Even a one-cent discrepancy requires investigation, explanation, and additional manual effort, undermining the reliability and efficiency of the system.

    Financial reporting depends on consistency and accuracy. Users…

  15. I note that HMRC does not offer a submission receipt for MTD for ITSA. Could Xero generate a PDF stating that the return has been filed, as other than taking a screenshot we have nothing we are able to send to the client confirming the return is submitted

  17. In the financial reports, the Beneficiaries header shoudl be able to be updated automatically with the name of the beneficiary.

    Having Beneficiary 1 there and having to edit it each time a report is generated is a complete waste of time for something that should eb automated.

    Editing individual reports not only wastes time but also increases the risk of errors in spelling or having a standard naming process across a business.

    Have raised this with support and its not available. Seems like it would be a pretty simple fix and something that should have been a standard implementation.

  18. For future reference, I would like to share the solution we received, as it was much simpler than the long winded process that had been suggested by Xero support

    Following the change to our payroll Branch ID, it is correct that employees will see two income statements in their ATO/myGov account after STP finalisation. However, the important distinction is that the two income statements have different statuses—one is marked "Tax Ready" and the other is marked "Not Tax Ready."

    Based on the advice from our tax agent, employees should use only the income statement marked "Tax Ready" for their tax…

  20. Have the ability to have separate reports for codes and prices for Billing items that is under Purchases and not lumped in with the Sales codes.

    Not enough filter flexibilty within to see only those that you require to look at or amend without getting everything.

    Not all purchases for bills are sales items for invoicing
