While the end-to-end integration with the I.R.D. is convenient, the user experience right at the final step lacks a crucial layer of transparency and assurance. When clicking "File with IR", the process jumps directly to the Declaration, and then into the IRD/myIR login authentication without showing a final, explicit summary preview of the exact data (the box-by-box breakdown, Boxes 5 through 15, and Prov Tax) that is about to be transmitted.

Because of this, it feels like a "black box" moment where the user is forced to fly blind, wondering if the background API call is grabbing the correct, up-to-date numbers from the Tax Return Report, and/or pulling underlying transaction information that shouldn't be sent to I.R.D.

Idea: Instead of the final declaration window being purely legal text/acknowledgment, Xero could integrate a clear summary of the exact figures being sent, right into that pop-up declaration window, directly above the final confirmation button (File Now). For example: "By filing with IR you acknowledge... [terms & conditions] ... and you are about to submit the following GST & Prov Tax figures to Inland Revenue: - Box 5: $X - Box 6: $Y (...and so on) [Cancel] [Confirm & Send] or [File Now]"

Having this visible final "double check" embedded right in the declaration step/window would give business owners complete confidence and peace of mind that what they reviewed on their Tax Return report is precisely what is landing in IRD’s system, and nothing else.
