bulk change customer or supplier VAT to organisations own, as not all of our services require VAT
To be able to bulk change settings for customer or suppliers.. for example, all of our customers and suppliers (4000+) were added to Xero but have all been pre set to include 20% VAT when invoicing.
But not all of our services are VAT chargeable, now whenever we invoice the VAT rate is pre set, causing us to need to remember to remove it. We can individually change this per customer or supplier to use our organisations own setting, in which this pulls from our schedule of rates. But to have the ability to change this in bulk would make…
1 voteHi Mabyn, sorry for not rounding back to your idea sooner. This should be possible through imports. To bulk update your contacts in Xero, you can export your current contacts list, make adjustments (in this case it sounds like you'll want to update the 'AccountsReceivableTaxCodeName'), then re-import your contacts list to Xero.
As long as you don't change your contact's name this will updated the details of that contact when imported to your organisation 🙂

Activity Statements - Collapse or Expand Transactions by Tax Type
It would be really helpful when in the Transactions by Tax Rate or Transactions by BAS Field tabs in the Activity Statement if you could collapse by the Tax Types. It is currently very cumbersome navigating these screens for businesses with high volumes of transactions. If you want to view the GST Free Expenses, you will have to scroll through hundreds of transactions and hope that you find the GST Free Expense heading in amongst all of them. The current work around is to export to Excel and manage the data that way, which isn't always ideal.
3 votesHi Amy, I'm pleased to say that we've recently introduced this feature, making several improvements to the GST transactions report:
- The 'Transactions by Tax Rate' and 'Transactions by BAS Field' tabs have been combined into a single view, now accessible through a 'By Tax Rate vs By BAS Field' filter.
- Users can now filter transactions by specific BAS fields, tax rates, or both, a feature that is particularly beneficial for organisations with a large volume of transactions.
- A wider view has been introduced for better visibility
- We've also added a sticky top header for easier navigation.

MTD for IT (Income Tax)
MTD for ITSA
Xero have been a bit quiet on the issue of MTD for ITSA. What is the suggested solution for ITSA? If the Xero plan is to charge the starter plan at £14/month (plus VAT) I think you will lose a lot of the market share. MTD for ITSA needs a simple £5/month solution for sole traders with ability to use expenses app for free. The costs of £14/month plus £2.50 for expenses is going to lose a lot of our clients to competitors like FreeAgent (which is free if you have an RBS/Natwest/Mettle account). Finding it hard…19 votesHi everyone, we want to assure you that Xero is fully committed to supporting you and your clients through the upcoming MTD changes. Making Tax Digital for Income Tax (MTD for IT) will be available across all Xero business plans, and as you may have seen we've also recently launched Xero Simple, a new plan built specifically to support non VAT registered sole traders and landlords, as they prepare for the next phase of Making Tax Digital.
With Xero Simple, you'll be able to manage finances, stay compliant, and adopt digital processes early. We appreciate the interest in how Xero will help you navigate MTD for IT and you can have confidence that Xero has you covered, whatever your needs.

GST | Increase backdating of GST returns
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…
34 votesHi 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.

NZ GST: Widen the GST Audit report
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.
6 votesHi 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.

Xero Tax: Pull contact information from completed W9 form
It would be great if Xero could extract data from the form W-9 and update the associated fields in the contact.

Thanks for sharing and engaging with us in Product Ideas.
