    Hi everyone, we've got a bit of an update we'd like to share with you all here.

    Some of you may have already seen, following the closure of CATO, we’re launching a new simple accounts production & tax solution for small businesses. This'll be available as a paid annual add-on from August 2026.

    With this solution you’ll be able to file your micro company accounts and corporation tax returns directly to HMRC from inside Xero, using data from your organisation in one simple flow.

    The feature doesn’t replace the more powerful, flexible tools you use with your accountant or bookkeeper. If your advisor files on your behalf, nothing changes.

    This solution is for small business owners handling their own corporation tax, this means less time wrestling with separate tools and a simpler, more streamlined way to stay compliant.

    If your tax needs get more complicated or you need more support,…

    Appreciate the response Kelly, but again, you are missing the point. Your customer don't want or need a Xero Partner. It's unnecessary cost that many cannot afford.

    Ignoring this section of your customer base and continually trying to push them towards a Partner they don't need or want or cannot afford will just cause people to leave and go with products that suit their needs.

    I am agreeing with many of the comments below. There are products on the market that will do this (and they are cheaper), such as FreeAgent (which you can even get for free via various banks).

    I already have an accountant who is a friend of mine, I don't need or want to go to a Xero partner just to pay more to enable this functionality, and there will be (and are) many who are in the same situation as me (not wanting or needing a partner).

    There is no reason not to make this standard functionality for businesses within Xero organisation, especially if you already have the functionality built in Xero Tax.

    At least make Xero Tax available to non-partner businesses if combining them isn't an option.
