Bringing employment types and new leave units to all New Zealand payroll users

If you haven’t made the switch to new reports, we urge you to start moving your work across now, so you have plenty of time to get used to them before the older versions are retired. Here are the latest features we’ve introduced to new reports:
We’re making some changes in Xero as part of our commitment to Building on Beautiful — which is about continuously upgrading our technology to build new features faster, giving our platform a consistent look and feel, and making sure we keep accessibility top of mind.
Improvements to Xero Projects
New chart of accounts field in Xero HQ
You can now add a reporting name to accounts in the chart of accounts templates. This gives the account a different display name on reports and helps you enjoy better reporting from the start.
Send direct debit mandates in Xero
We’ve updated GoCardless in Xero so you can send direct debit agreements (mandates) to customers directly from Xero, without the need to send an invoice.
Payroll history now available in payroll settings — Australia
We’ve introduced payroll history to the payroll settings tab of Xero Payroll, so you can see any changes made by a small business owner, advisor or app partner.
Autocode incoming eInvoices — Australia & New Zealand
You can now allocate a code to eInvoicing suppliers, so line items from that supplier are automatically coded when you receive the eInvoice. You can still manually code individual items if you prefer.
Real-time data in Xero Tax — New Zealand
To make sure your pre-populated data is always up to date, we’re switching to real-time updates within Xero Tax. This will be automatically triggered when you create a new tax return in Xero.
Expanded income tax coverage — Canada
Income tax coverage in Xero now includes T1 Income statements (T2125 and T776), in addition to T2 and T5013. This will help advisors easily complete simplified year-ends for clients, thanks to TaxCycle.
The GIFI mapper has also been updated, to help you map accounts and balances to GIFI codes within Xero and export them for filing with the Canada Revenue Agency.
More banks added to Hubdoc — Canada & US
You can now use Hubdoc’s bank statement extraction tool if you bank with BMO, Chase Bank, CIBC, Royal Bank of Canada, Scotiabank, TD Canada Trust Bank or Wells Fargo.
Re-authenticate your bank feed in Xero — UK
The need to re-authenticate through your bank is finally a thing of the past. You can now re-consent to the continuation of your bank feed within Xero by following the prompts.
Split accounts and tax workflows in Xero Tax — UK
We’ve added the ability to split accounts and tax workflows, so you can prepare company accounts in Xero Tax and easily export the file if needed.
