   Hi everyone, thanks for the idea and support here. We appreciate all the valuable feedback and ideas shared regarding adding item 7A to the Business Activity Statement.

   We understand that the ability to easily track deferred GST is crucial to your workflows.

   Currently 7A on the BAS is a manual field, which does not update the figures on 1B. To adjust for this, we recommended the following workaround:

   1. Enter the original purchase as BAS Excluded.
   2. Once you have the Customs Entry form N10, you're entitled to claim a GST credit. Create a Bill with the value of the Deferred GST showing on the N10. Code this to your GST account (820 in the default Chart of Accounts) using the tax rate GST on Imports so that it shows separately in the Transactions by BAS field report and gets reported under 1B. You'll still need to manually add the Deferred GST to 7A.
   3. Create an account in the Chart of Accounts for Deferred GST on Imports. Enable payments to this account and use it to pay the Bill you created for the Deferred GST.
   4. When you pay the BAS to the ATO enter a Spend Money transaction with a separate line for the Deferred GST to clear the liability from the Deferred GST account you created.

   To be open and upfront we don't have direct plans for making this change within Xero in the near future. We appreciate this is not the news you’d like to hear but we're still interested to get a clearer understanding of users that'd like to see this developed, and will continue to track this through the conversation here. If there's any change we will let you know on the thread.

   Not in pipeline  ·  AdminDavid Reynolds (Admin, Xero) responded

   Hi everyone, thanks for taking the time to explain how important this functionality is to upload files to leave requests.

   We're currently exploring ideas to attach files to employee records, however our product team confirmed that attaching files directly into leave requests is not something we're focusing on at the time. We’ve moved this idea to Not in pipeline.

   We know this isn't the update you were hoping for, but we want to be transparent about where things stand. The idea remains open for votes, so we'll continue monitoring community interest and feedback as we plan for the future.

   This would be amazing. Xero has somewhere to save attachments everywhere else. Why not payroll also?

   Hi community, we appreciate the on-going interest this idea is receiving and the growing needs in the ability to customise documents that you send from Xero.

   Right now, our position for this idea remains the same - we do have future plans to improve the branding experience across Xero, starting with invoicing which you can read more about.

   As this experience continues to build out we'll make sure to share any updates for customising Remittance for everyone here.

   The existing remittance is very basic. I would like to be able to add more information
