Solving compliance for the UK with Instafile for accounts preparation and tax
We were excited to announce at Xerocon London the acquisition of Instafile. This accelerates our development of accounts preparation and tax filing within Xero, connecting the ‘last mile’ between our platform in the UK and HMRC.
Instafile will automate the process of tax filing and financial reporting in the UK for Xero partners, seamlessly connecting Xero directly to UK compliance bodies, including HMRC.
What does it mean for me and my clients?
Combined with the launch of our Making Tax Digital for VAT open beta functionality, we’ve set out to provide valuable direct tax filing functionality for accountants to manage for their clients in the UK.
In keeping with our passion to grow small businesses by connecting them with advisors who are fully equipped to support them, we’re including these new capabilities within Xero at no charge to our Xero partners.
Toby Woodhead, Solution Architect at Xero platinum partner firm Armstrong Watson – who has been supporting Xero with the development of Instafile – says: “Corporate Tax is a time-consuming process. Before Instafile, it meant double the data entry and twice the risk that something had been entered incorrectly or forgotten.
“Working with the Instafile and Xero teams, we’ve been able to help build features and functionality designed by accountants for accountants to take the pain out of Corporate Tax. Never before has tax been so exciting!”
Pam Phillips, Partner at De Jong Phillips – a Xero silver partner – told us at Xerocon: “The acquisition of Instafile is fantastic. We’re really happy – it’s going to make our life so easy.”
The addition of Instafile to the Xero family is an exciting one and complements a range of integrations that we have with other tax and accounts production software within the Xero ecosystem.
When can I have it?
We’re taking expressions of interest for our Instafile beta now with the full release to follow in 2019. Please note, this accounts production capability will only be available to Xero partners.
