UK Tax - Importing Rental Income to Xero Tax
Following the introduction to MTD for ITSA, we will be reporting a number of clients rental income to HMRC using Xero, which we previously did not. As a result of MTD for ITSA we will be preparing more Tax Returns using Xero Tax.
It is currently not possible to import rental income & expenses, from a client's Xero account directly to Xero Tax (where as you can for sole trade businesses). Unfortunately these figures need to be typed in manually.
Would it be possible to add this feature into Xero Tax?
1 voteThanks for sharing your idea of importing rental income into the personal tax return.
We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it.
It is worth noting that our MTD for IT functionality will include the option to include rental income/expenses and will utilise tracking categories to do this.

MTD for Income Tax (Employed Income)
As well as my self-employment, I received income through Employment that currently I cannot declare through Xero's MTD for Income Tax implementation, and therefore I cannot use Xero for filing. The addition of allowing me to declare income through Employment via Xero would allow me and others like me to do so.
2 votesHi Oliver, thanks for sharing this idea. We appreciate you highlighting how important it is to declare employed income alongside self-employment income within Xero’s MTD for Income Tax implementation. Our product team is aware of this request and it’s on their radar as we assess future improvements. In the meantime, please add your vote and comments on this idea to help us understand demand across the community 🙂

NZ GST - Consistent approach to display transactions
The "GST on expenses" and "no GST" sections of the GST report have contradicting signage - e.g.: expenses are a positive when there is GST but a negative when its under the "no GST" section. Can we keep it consistent in the report as its confusing to read/review.
1 voteThanks for sharing your feedback on the GST report formatting and how the current approach can cause confusion when reviewing the transactions.

Xero Tax (UK) - Aligning sole trade accounts expense categories to mirror tax return
It seems we can only class expenses within the profit & loss as staff costs or other charges. Ideally the breakdown should match the tax return.

UK Tax - Vat number on Vat Tab
Please show the VAT number on the VAT page. At the moment either need to go via the Financial settings or drill into a VAT return to see the VAT registration number. Would be good if quickly visible on the VAT page

Country-specific features and ecosystem for Nepal
Proposal – Xero Expansion Strategy for Nepal
Summary:
Nepal presents a strong opportunity for Xero with its growing SME sector, increasing digital adoption, and government focus on VAT/TDS compliance. To succeed, Xero should focus on localization, affordability, and integrations.Key Recommendations:
Localization – Automate VAT & TDS filing in government-approved formats, support NPR currency with NRB exchange rate sync, and offer bilingual (Nepali/English) invoices.
Mobile-First Approach – Lightweight app with offline functionality, expense capture via SMS, and local-language notifications.
Banking & Wallet Integration – Partner with leading Nepali banks (Nabil, NIC Asia, Global IME, etc.) and mobile wallets (eSewa, Khalti,…
1 voteThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.
As you're possibly aware, Xero doesn't currently have specific features for Nepalese businesses, so for now we'd suggest using the Global edition.

NZ GST - Sort by multiple columns
NZ GST returns - add multiple sorting
Currently, I can only sort by one column. When I click on Account, the transactions are sorted by account name. But when I then click on Contact, the transactions are sorted by contact name, and the account names become unordered. It would be great if I could sort by multiple columns. For example, first by account, then by contact.1 voteThanks for letting us know about how this could be improved for you.

Xero Accounting app - View VAT due
It would be extremely useful if we could view VAT on the dashboard of mobile phone app. Director only uses Xero on his phone so can never keep track of what VAT is due.
4 votesThanks for your idea here, Sue. Understand how different details would be helpful for different users on the go through the Xero Accounting app.
This isn't something we have plans for right now, but we'll continue to track the interest from your idea here.

Activity Statements - Export Sorted Transactions
Activity statement line items can now be sorted in the Activity Statement report in Xero, which is great to be able to review transactions by Account Name, to group similar transactions. However, transactions do not keep this order when exported to CSV or PDF. If manually sorted by the user in the Activity Statement report, the exported report should keep the same sorting preferences.

UK VAT - View multiple unsubmitted VAT returns
We should be able to prepare and view future VAT returns where there are multiple unsubmitted returns. Ie. able to prepare multiple VAT returns for client approval at once. Currently, they have to be prepared and submitted before the next quarter's return is visible.

Just a quick update that this idea is open for voting and comments from the wider community - please share your thoughts on how this would help you. We'll keep an eye on the support for this idea here.
In the mean time, you may wish to use the “Looking to see VAT transactions for your own date range” option to run off reports for each return period, and then calculate the VAT from this report.

Sales Tax Report (US) - Recognize California's TY 6/30-7/1
Xero's Sales Tax Report doesn't recognize the great state of California's tax year: 7/1-6/30. Xero pull-downs only offer calendar-year options (1/1-12/31). So, we couldn't set up Sales Tax Report for largest state in the US. Please fix this. We can do it ad infinitum manually, but it seems that Xero could fix the problem. (Avalara could inform Xero if other US states also vary from a simple calendar Tax Year reporting.)
1 voteAppreciate you sharing your idea and why you'd find an automated date setting for California on the Sales Tax report helpful, Cheryl.
Make sure you share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit so they can add their vote too!

Business Activity Statement - Calculate Wine Equalisation Tax (WET) in AU
Ability to calculate Wine Equalisation Tax in Australia.
Purpose: To easily comply with transactiona tax requirements in Australia
76 votesHi community, I know it's been some time since our last update here. Though we're continuing to follow and track the interest in automatic calculation of wine equalisation tax within Xero, for the time being this isn't something we've planned.
As some may have received detail from our support team on there is a way we suggest you can record your WET liabilities and credits within Xero - See our post on this discussion for the detail. Alternatively, there are app partners you could explore on the Xero app store.
If there are any changes around this we will be back to share with you all on this idea.
