  1. Why are we limited to backdating GST Returns in Blue Xero just 12 months.

    It's crazy to limit the backdating of GST Returns to 12 months for Advisors. In an ideal world our clients are well behaved and we only need to deal with recent GST Returns. But we often get situations where we need to backdate GST Returns beyond 12 months: ie A client comes to us who has been trading for 2 or more years and not filed any Tax or GST returns - how do we deal with that? Or if we are doing a migration from…

    Hi everyone, with Xero's new GST returns can now be created back in time with no limit.

    The one thing to note here is that returns do need to finalised and filed in order of the period of the return.

  2. Item Count for Purchases , Income and No GST Transaction seperately and then total on end as it Count it as item number already.

    Hi Guramit 👋 The new New Zealand GST experience is now available to everyone. As noted previously, the Transactions tab now shows the number of transactions in each section displayed on screen. 😁 

    Thanks for sharing where you'd like to see change in Xero. 

  3. Widen the display of the GST Audit report. When viewing the GST return I also check the GST audit report. When viewing the GST audit report I cannot see the date on the left side without scrolling to the bottom and using the scroll bar to move the report from side to side. It will not show all the columns at once.

    Hi everyone, our new New Zealand GST experience is now available to all users.

    As noted in my last update there is no longer a GST audit report. The transactions tab provides options to toggle different columns on or off. 

    The new experience also auto scales the page to fit information in one screen, so no more need to scroll. Thanks for all your feedback and contributing to the idea here.

  4. It would be great if Xero could extract data from the form W-9 and update the associated fields in the contact.

    Hi Elizabeth, I know it's been some time since you initially raised this, and hopefully you've already seen that we have now delivered a solution for W-9 that solves your idea here 😊 You can find more detail on how you can request W-9 details from your 1099 contacts on Xero Central. Thanks for sharing and engaging with us in Product Ideas.

  5. Auto create entries for items included in “Amounts the Tax Offices owes you” and under the accounts of PAYGW, GST and PAYG, when an activity statement is created in Xero.

    Purpose: Save time not having to manually create once Activity Statement is completed

    Hi everyone, roll out for this release has begun and will ramp up really quickly so you should all have it within the next couple of days. 😊

    We've released a new feature that allows you to easily create a draft bill or invoice directly from the BAS (Business Activity Statement) statement page after finalising or filing it for the period.

    The created transaction will be pre-populated with most of the required details such as contact details, account, amount, and description, for you to review and approve. You'll be able to view the transaction directly from the BAS return, or through Invoice and Bills. 🎉
