  1. It would be helpful to have a check box for each section of the tax return that marks it as completed so you know what is done and what still needs to be done.

    We find that we have to continually go back and check which sections are completed and which are not which can be time consuming, especially if you are working on multiple tax returns at once or if you are going between tax returns waiting on information from clients. An overview of some sort or a check mark beside each schedule would be very helpful.

  2. For future reference, I would like to share the solution we received, as it was much simpler than the long winded process that had been suggested by Xero support

    Following the change to our payroll Branch ID, it is correct that employees will see two income statements in their ATO/myGov account after STP finalisation. However, the important distinction is that the two income statements have different statuses—one is marked "Tax Ready" and the other is marked "Not Tax Ready."

    Based on the advice from our tax agent, employees should use only the income statement marked "Tax Ready" for their tax…

    Hi Jay, thanks for bringing this Idea to us. We do need more information on which Tax Authority you are asking for this to be added too. As Xero covers the Globe we do need specific details so we can review the Idea correctly. Currently we have assumed this is about US tax authority as you are a US customer but if this is not correct please give us more details so we can adjust accordingly.

    This will also allow other to see if the tax authority is the same as theirs so they can vote.

  4. Both the 'Finalised' and 'Filed with IR' boxes are the same colour, and both pieces of text start with 'F'. Twice, I have experienced glitches where I file the return with IR, it appears to have been submitted, but the status simply changes to 'Finalised'. Would it be possible to change the colour of one to a different colour, to help highlight the different states? Or change the text from Finalised to something like 'Approved/Ready to Submit'. I understand this is minor, and partly user-based, but I do think it could be helpful. Thanks!

  5. Need to be able to exclude non-tax clients from the tax payments report when they are only included because they have a beneficiary schedule in their family trust. Many beneficiaries of trusts are not tax-clients.

  6. I've had an issue when filing accounts on Xero tax that I reclassified an asset as a liability, and it would be helpful to have a warning pop up to let us know that Xero automatically reverses them. It caused significant issues not realising this.

  7. Currently the HMRC Agents Services Account is entered for the whole practice including all offices.
    Many practices have separate offices with separate HMRC ASA.
    Xero requires one ASA for the whole practice which is a nightmare for submitting MTD4IT Returns as the access has to be updated depending on which office is filing!

  8. Currently, Xero Tax allows a trust tax return to be completed and lodged even when a beneficiary's TFN has not been entered, despite the TFN being required in certain beneficiary statements and trust reporting schedules.
    It would be helpful if Xero included a validation check that prevents the trust tax return from being finalised or lodged where a beneficiary TFN is mandatory but has not been entered. This could work in the same way as other critical validation errors that must be resolved before lodgement.
    For our practice, this would reduce the risk of incomplete or incorrect trust reporting, improve…

  9. Tax repayments on UK Tax Returns are automatically offset against the January payment on account, even when it's requested to be sent by cheque or bank transfer. There should be the option for this to be shown separately on the calculation as it will confuse clients when they want to know what is due for payment in January.
