Map tax rates and accounts

When you connect Xero, Kiaro fetches your tax rates and chart of accounts so you can choose how Kiaro invoice lines should appear in your books.

Default tax code

The default tax code is used when a Kiaro invoice’s tax rate doesn’t have a specific mapping. Most solo consultants use one rate (e.g. 20% VAT in the UK, 21% BTW in the Netherlands), in which case the default covers every invoice.

Default income account

The default income account is the Xero account code applied to every invoice line, unless the project has its own mapping. Common choices: 200 Sales, 230 Consulting Income.

Per-rate tax mapping

If you charge different tax rates (e.g. standard rate domestic and zero-rated EU exports), map each Kiaro rate to a separate Xero tax code:

Per-project mapping

If different projects feed different income lines in your books, map projects individually:

Projects without an explicit mapping use the default account.

Refresh catalog

If you add new tax rates or accounts in Xero, click Refresh catalog on the mapping page. Kiaro re-fetches the current list and marks anything missing as inactive.
