What the workflow includes

Categorise income and expenses by property while retaining the original transaction record.

Attach invoices and supporting documents so the annual totals have an evidence trail.

Review profit and loss and an IR3R-oriented annual tax summary.

Use supported Xero bank feeds on eligible Standard and higher plans when a wider accounting ledger is appropriate.

Follow the source records into the tax summary

The seeded demo shows an IR3R-oriented annual summary built from rental income and property expenses recorded in the product.

  1. Review income, categorized expenses and attached source records for the selected tax year.
  2. Check the property and portfolio totals, including items that still need professional or owner review.
  3. Share the working summary with your accountant and complete the required return outside RentManager.

This is a preparation aid, not a filed tax return or tax advice. The example is synthetic; GST returns and depreciation calculations are not provided.

Prepare selected tenancy evidence for review

The seeded demo includes a draft arrears case linked to its tenancy record, showing a prepare-and-review workflow.

  • Review the arrears schedule and rent ledger against the tenancy timeline.
  • Select relevant notices, records and supporting documents for the case.
  • Check the compiled evidence before deciding what to submit.

The synthetic case is a draft. An export is not a Tribunal application or a filing-ready evidence pack; the landlord remains responsible for review and submission.

How it works

  1. 1

    Import or enter transactions and match each item to the correct property and category.

  2. 2

    Review exceptions, attach evidence and keep personal or capital items separate.

  3. 3

    Export or share the year summary with your accountant and complete the required return.

Scope and limitations

RentManager records GST flags but does not prepare GST returns, calculate depreciation or give tax advice. IRD treatment depends on your circumstances, so complex ownership, interest or deductibility questions belong with an accountant.
