MTD for Income Tax (Employed Income)

As well as my self-employment, I received income through Employment that currently I cannot declare through Xero's MTD for Income Tax implementation, and therefore I cannot use Xero for filing. The addition of allowing me to declare income through Employment via Xero would allow me and others like me to do so.

Hi everyone, we’re pleased to share we've now delivered this capability with MTD for Income Tax for simple personal income.

You can include employment income alongside your self-employment income, helping support your MTD filing in Xero.

We appreciate you all sharing feedback and helping us understand the value this would add for you.

Hi team, thanks for sharing your interest with us, here. Right now our product team are working on some improvements in this space, including the ability to add employment income within MTD for IT.

I just signed up to Xero for MTD and have income from three different employments. It is critical for me that I can file via Xero but this makes it sound as if this will not be possible.
