    Hi everyone, thank you for your continued input and feedback through this idea. Since my last update as some may have seen we have announced a new plan Xero Simple designed to support non VAT registered sole traders and landlords, as they prepare for the next phase of Making Tax Digital. And, that MTD IT will be available for all Xero business plans - see more on my update here.

    While we understand the desire from small businesses in Xero Tax for the UK, our intention is for this to remain a Partner only feature. We'd highly recommend connecting with a Xero adviser if this is a tool you'd like to make use of.

    Of course that for someone like Simon Jones, who is a Xero Partner, it would be better to defend their end than to suggest better ideas to develop what Xero is already doing.

    Considering I have contacted several Xero Partners to do the accounts for my small company, and their quotes, even though most of their work is already done in Xero, are similar to any other accountant that does not work with Xero.
    And I can say this comfortably, as I have another company with an accountant (not Xero Partner) working for me.

    So their quotes are simply ridiculous and they are taking advantage of both Xero and small companies.

    Also, according to your comment, then doing VAT returns would be a nightmare, which is not.

    If Xero is already dealing with the VAT side of taxation under HMRC rules, why not also cover the submission of yearly accounts?
    Xero has all the details needed for this, and missing data could be inputted directly by the Xero user if needed.
