CIS - Amend CIS returns before submitting
It would be very useful to be able to amend CIS returns on Xero before final submission (as it is possible with VAT returns).
1 voteThank you for raising this idea about the ability to amend CIS returns before submitting them. As per HMRC requirements, the CIS deduction is an event that is legally tied to the cash transaction of a payment being made. Because of this, the final return is based on these completed cash transactions, and any changes must be made through HMRC's official amendment process. Therefore, the ability to edit the return before submission is outside of Xero's control as we must adhere to the strict requirements set by HMRC for the CIS scheme. While we understand this isn't the answer you were hoping for, we want to be transparent about why this is not something we can build. We will continue to explore any potential solutions that may align with HMRC's future requirements, but for now, we must follow their strict compliance rules ✨

AU - Manually edit AU GST on transactions
In Australia, users need to be able to manually edit the amount of GST paid on a transaction. This is required because certain transactions (particularly grocery and pharmacy transactions) have a mixture of items, some of which have GST applied, and some that do not. Unfortunately, the receipts for these types of transactions do not indicate which specific items have incurred GST - they just have a total amount of GST paid on that receipt. As such, it would be great if users could just override the total amount of GST paid for those receipts. See attached for an example…
75 votesHiya team, we appreciate the interest this idea has built up, and do want you to know this has been a topic of discussion for our teams.
While manual tax adjustments is available in some regions, considering local best practice we have no plans of expanding manual tax adjustments on transactions to AU based organisations.
We appreciate there can be circumstances where a transaction differs by a few cents due to rounding and would recommend using manual journals to post and make corrections where required.
We get this isn't the outcome you'd most like to receive, but want to be upfront with you all on this here. Thanks

UK VAT - Ability to enter VAT-only invoices
VAT Only Transactions - Xero to remove needless restriction to have VAT amount less than line total. This will allow posting zero net with VAT amount to 20%EXP VAT code with a total equal to the VAT total without having to reply on VAT on imports tax code.
5 votesHi team, we'd like to pop in with an updated message however being upfront there is still no work planned to change or remove this behaviour.
Right now as shared in my last update, you can enter a 100% VAT invoice by following the steps in this Xero Central article.
This involves entering the invoice using two transaction lines. When entered this way, the invoice will:
- show a 100% VAT total; and
- have a 0.00 effect on the account code balance.
*Both transaction lines will appear on the invoice PDF.
We appreciate your feedback and understand the importance of being able to record these transactions accurately.

VAT - Ability to produce a 126 Schedule
VAT 126 - small local authorities can reclaim all VAT. To do so they need to submit a 126 schedule, which is not currently available within Xero. The problem is that the supplier's VAT number cannot be included in transaction reports.
The ability to produce the VAT 126 schedule would make Xero a very good option for the many parish and small town councils.13 votes🌟 Thanks for sharing this idea, and for explaining the need for a VAT 126 schedule for local authorities and similar organisations.
We’re moving this idea to Gaining Support so we can better gauge interest from the wider community and understand how many customers this would help. If this is something others need as well, we’d encourage them to add their vote and share more detail about how they’d use it.
Your feedback helps our product teams understand where there are gaps and what changes could have the biggest impact, so we really appreciate you taking the time to raise this.

Dashboard - Tax & reporting to include when an activity statement is ready to prepare

UK VAT - VAT calculations to 3 decimal points.
Xero calculates VAT on a line by line basis and rounds up at every instance. This leads to the VAT amount sometimes being more than a few pennies over the top of what it should be.
I propose that Xero calculates VAT to 3 decimal places, which will mostly eliminate this over payment to the VAT man and overcharging our customers. Or it only calculates VAT at the end of the invoice.
6 votesThanks for sharing this idea and the context behind it. We can see the value in increasing VAT calculations to 3 decimal places to help reduce rounding differences on invoices and bills.
We’re moving this idea to Gaining Support so we can better understand how many customers would benefit from this and gauge the level of community interest. If this is important to your workflow, please continue to vote and share examples in the comments so we can better understand the impact.

BAS - Manual option to override unavailable unfiled amounts
Activity Statement report - currently the activity statements need to be finalised in order and if not then the unfiled amounts option is turned off for good, with no way to change this. The current workaround is to delete all previous statements and then finalise them in order. This means we lose history, and particularly when the client is managing the BAS returns, we need that history to stay. Also there is no way to tell how far back into history the error is occuring. We need a manual override where we can switch on the unfiled amounts, so that…

CIS - Resubmission Reminder/notification
At the moment Xero allows you to change a CIS invoice etc that effects the CIS return that you have already submitted. It doesn't tell you that it would need to be resubmitted or that your action will effect your CIS report. Would it be possible for Xero to alert you that your action will effect the CIS report already submitted and advise you to resubmit it.

NZ GST Return- Ability to only show a single line per invoice on the Transactions report
When running the GST Transactions Report, each and every line from each invoice is reported separately, creating a ridiculously large report.
Perhaps there could be one single line per invoice, reporting the total GST for that invoice? Like it used to be?Thanks

Xero - Get approval from the Danish Business Authority
The Danish Business Authority requires Accounting Systems to be approved by them in order for you to use their system in the country. XERO currently have no plans to get approved by them, I think they should get approval from DBA, and other countries, to enable subsidiaries of Global companies to use the same software as their parent companies.
19 votesHi everyone, we appreciate interest in being able to use Xero as an approved accounting solution in Denmark. This is something our team are exploring at present and I'll keep you updated of outcomes of here.

VAT rounding issue - avoid manual edits on Xero
We have to regularly edit invoices from specifics suppliers to correct pennies in the VAT boxes to ensure these match. Using up valuable and unnecessary time.
We use another software with another company that gets this spot on every time, but considering we pay for Xero we felt it would be helpful to get the VAT extraction down to 100% accuracy.
6 votesHi team, we appreciate interest around this idea but want to be upfront that we don't have any plans for changing Xero's current rounding methods for tax which is where you commonly see these difference of a few cents.
As originally noted, for UK organisations in Xero today you can manually adjust tax amounts on unpaid transactions.

VAT201 - Import 100% tax VAT adjustment
Import VAT on goods and services received. We require a 100% VAT adjustment, tax rate. Where 100% of the subtotal goes into tax; and 0% goes into the cost. At the moment when allocating 100% VAT it adds the subtotal + 100% VAT = doubling the amount. The alternative is to use multiple lines to off set the subtotal and take 100% of the VAT. Other accounting software has the ability to do a 100% VAT adjustment on one cost line, eliminating the need for the multiple lines and offset.
2 votesWe recognise that the current process involves additional steps to record the transaction correctly, and how this an be time consuming. We can see the benefit of having a 100% VAT option as requested, making it easier to record these transactions accurately on a single line. ⭐
Other can now vote for and support this idea, and we encourage others to comment on how this functionality would help their business too.

VAT Reconciliation - Ability to view tracking category
Adding tracking categories to VAT return/reports:
I would like to run a VAT return/report per quarter to be shown by tracking category rather than as a whole. There is not an option on the current VAT report to add the tracking categories, therefore I think this would add benefits to any client that uses tracking categories for departments.
49 votesThanks so much everyone for the votes, comments, and continued interest in this idea over such a long time. It’s clear this has been on people’s minds for a while, and we really appreciate everyone who has taken the time over the past three years to share context, use cases, and support. 😊
Given the ongoing interest and the value in the discussion so far, we’re moving this into Gaining Support so it can keep building momentum and visibility. Please keep the feedback coming — the more detail we have on customer impact, use cases, and urgency, the easier it is to show why this matters.
Thanks again for sticking with it and helping keep the conversation alive.
