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.

Unfortunately for Xero I can see a loss in clients due to tax returns being digital from April 2026.
It appears illogical that a small business is prohibited from completing their own tax return using Xero, while being compelled to pay an accountant or bookkeeper (via the xero partner program) to undertake a task that most businesses are capable or performing independently.
From a cost-effective view, it would make more sense for my business to change software that facilitates the completion of yearly tax returns rather than incurring the expense of paying an accountant to complete a task that I am already capable of doing.
