    Thanks for raising this, please do look out for the sharks! Atm, Xero Tax pulls the information at the date the filing is created so providing they're directors at that date, they should be included in the company information we receive back.

    This'll include all active directors, whether they're appointed in the year of afterwards.

    However, we're planning to improve this to offer more flexibility around the Directors information, including improving the format of the names themselves. We'll be in touch when we have more detail to share.

    Xero Tax (UK) should be updated to allow accounts to be signed by the current directors at the time of signing, rather than being restricted to those listed during the financial year in question. In real-world scenarios—however extreme, like a board tragically being eaten by sharks post-year-end—companies must legally proceed with newly appointed directors who are alive and active. As it stands, Xero Tax’s reliance on historical Companies House data prevents selection of these new signatories, resulting in an impractical and potentially non-compliant process. Flexibility should be introduced to reflect real-time appointments, much like how dynamic platforms such as https://marrybrownmenupricescanada.com/ update their content based on current menus and pricing rather than relying on outdated information.
