Xero Tax (AU) - Automatically add the ABN from the client record to P5 of the individual tax return
Any taxpayer can only have one ABN.
Why does Xero leave P5 blank when it could put the ABN (which is already in the client record) into P5 for me?
If you're worried about there sometimes being an ABN in the client record but there being no business that year and it needing to be blank.. then make it work the same as when I rollover from a prior period - last year's fields are rolled over but I can delete them if need be.
Same thing here - when I create the tax return, either:
- roll-over from the prior year, or if blank,
- pre-fill the name, address and ABN from the Client Record
I can delete it if needed.
If someone has an ABN, more often than not I need to add the details than I would need to remove the details and it's easier to remove than add, so logic says this way would be better.

For clients that are sole traders, the ABN or business address is not appearing on tax returns and has to be manually entered. We should be able to generate a tax return with a business schedule that has the business address and ABN already prefilled per the client's details in practice manager and their Xero file
