    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.

    I completely understand the marketing strategy behind Xero’s decision to make Xero Tax available exclusively to partner accountants and bookkeepers. It clearly serves as an incentive for accountancy firms to promote the Xero ecosystem—essentially a trail of breadcrumbs designed to deepen their commitment to your platform.

    However, from my perspective as a small business owner, this approach lacks practical business justification. I see no value in paying an accountancy firm a significant fee—often for what amounts to a 15-minute task—when competing software solutions offer fully integrated annual accounts filing at a fraction of the cost, often much less than the fee charged by those firms.

    I hope Xero will consider offering more flexible access models for small businesses who are capable of managing their own filings, or who prefer to use technology rather than outsource routine compliance tasks.
