Hi all, just updating the status of this idea to Accepted here, to align with our new statuses for Xero Product ideas. You can read more about this on our blog.
We're also pleased to see in your comments here that CAF have introduced QFX file types for downloading transactions - this'll make manually importing more streamlined until a bank feed is made available.
As per our last update, we appreciate all the interest a feed for CAF has gained and we want you to know this has definitely got attention from our product team, and something they hope to explore in the future however we can't provide any timeframes at this time. I'll be sure to keep you updated of any progress that moves this along. Thanks

Hi everyone, thanks for all of your engagement with this idea. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts on being able to claim previous year's employment allowances in Xero.
We understand this would save time and provide a more complete payroll solution.
As noted by others in this thread, the current workaround is to process prior year claims using HMRC's Basic PAYE Tools.
We've reviewed our upcoming development roadmap, and at this time building the functionality to process prior year Employment Allowance claims is not in our immediate pipeline.
We will keep this idea under consideration for future development, and should our plans change, we will provide an update here.

It looks like it is possible to reset the claim indicator (either YES or NO) for earlier years through Xero as in June Xero took the YES and turned it to NO for the previous year at HMRC. I have done the accounting entries via manual journal as we cannot redo the P32 etc for the earlier year in Xero.

The trap has been when a new HMRC payroll year starts, Xero resets the Employers Allowance to NO automatically. This makes sense as HMRC needs a definitive claim to be decided for each year.
My clients who run their own payrolls can miss this and if not astute go the whole year without claiming (and overpaying).
One solution may be to put in a warning to the user on the first pay run in the new HMRC payroll year to state definitively if the Employment Allowance is to claimed or not (and if unsure ask the accountant). Currently it is in the end of year roll over for payroll but not an obligatory decision.
