    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 agree that this is a critical product update that's required from xero. the UK HMRC are removing the option to be able to file your corporation tax from 31st March 2026, and after that you will either have to pay an accountant or move to another accounting system.

    As a small business that is current pre-launch, we cannot afford to pay the £500 + VAT to an accountant to complete an online form that we can do ourselves in 20 minutes, so if Xero do not have this as an option, we'll have no choice but to leave you. I'm sure other small businesses are in the same boat so it is definitely worth introducing this functionality for business owners.

    This won't dilute your revenue stream, because companies that can afford an accountant, will still be using Xero partners to file the necessary paperwork, but smaller organisations just can't afford this extra expense it.

    I really hope this will be available by March 2026 otherwise we'll have to move - I don't want to, but can't afford not to!
