Paying bills is a time consuming task for all small businesses. We’re working to update this process in Xero to reduce friction and streamline it where we can. The existing batch payments interface was one of the first features to be built at Xero.

We’re pleased to announce that the Domestic Reverse Charge (DRC) is now live in Xero. The new feature will help you comply with your DRC obligations.  DRC intends to cut down on “missing trader” fraud, where companies receiving high net amounts of VAT from their customers have no intention of ever paying over to HMRC.

At Xero, we’re always looking for ways to support small businesses to succeed and grow. That’s why we were thrilled to sponsor the Trans-Tasman Innovation and Growth Awards this year. Run by the Australia and New Zealand Leadership Forum (ANZLF), the awards are all about recognising emerging businesses having an impact through innovation and collaboration.
