MTD for IT - Clients to be able to add multiple tax payers in Xero themselves
It's great that, as a Xero Partner, we can add multiple taxpayers to the same Xero licence for Making Tax Digital for Income Tax. This is particularly beneficial for situations such as husband and wife property owners who each hold a 50% share of a property.
However, not all clients choose to have their accountant manage their MTD submissions. For those who prefer to handle their own compliance, it can be frustrating that a second taxpayer cannot currently be added directly by the client within Xero.
Allowing clients to add and manage additional taxpayers themselves would be a valuable enhancement. It would provide greater flexibility, reduce reliance on accountants for setup, and make MTD compliance more accessible for clients who wish to manage the process independently. This would be a significant improvement to the user experience and particularly helpful for jointly owned property portfolios.
