  1. It would be super useful to add the xero organisation name to the subject line of emails sent from recipients of online invoices so firms with multiple xero organisations can see straight away, which xero organisation the contact belongs too, when they submit an email query via their online invoice link.

  2. IDEA - CIS suffered report to calculate the CIS suffered correctly.

    ISSUE - If you apply a credit note to an invoice that has both CIS labour and CIS materials, Xero does not calculate the CIS suffered correctly. Even though the credit note is coded to the correct nominal code, Xero doesn't recognise this. This causes the CIS suffered report to reduce the deduction amount which is incorrect. This means the figure you submit to HMRC is lower than it should be. Meaning less of a refund of CIS suffered than it actually should be.

  3. Looking for deleting wrongly created General Pool, which were created during the conversion of file to Xero Blue. Currently we can record an end date to the pool, but it doesn't stop the previous pools to stop appearing on the 'Run Depreciation' screen. No balances recorded, no movement at all.

  4. We use the app to add a photo to an invoice. It would be great to be able to add a photo to a credit note too.

    Thanks for raising the idea, team. 

    Right now, we don't have plans for developing the ability to edit Credit Notes within the mobile Accounting app which is where functions like adding files would come in, too. 

    It's good to begin tracking the interest of this here, but want to be upfront with this atm. 

  5. Add the ability to Xero / Xero Me for multiple time sheet entries per day.
    For staff who work across multiple sites having the ability to add multiple time entries per day and either select a client to associate those entries against, or add a note for each time sheet entry would be fantastic.
    Ultimately you would allow up to 6 time entries per day.

    Example

    Monday
    Time Entry1= 8:00 - 11:30am (note= site 1)
    Time Entry2= 12:00 - 3:30pm (note= site 2)
    Time Entry3= 3:30pm - 5:00pm (note = site 3)

    Doing this would improve the functionality and uptake…

  6. The mobile app currently does not ask you to confirm your password when you setup a pin for your account. If you were to miss-enter your pin, which is easy to do, you essentially immediately lock yourself out of your account. The system should ask for a pin, then ask you to confirm the pin before finalising it, allowing you to go back a step if you enter in the wrong pin.

  7. A feature for businesses to submit their own tax returns would be great. I already prepare and submit my own GST returns via Xero and it's really easy - just the push of a button. A similar feature to enable me to prepare and submit my own tax return, without needing to go through an accountant, would be really good as the technology is now here for us to not need expert advice so much in this area now and this will only increase with the rise of AI.

  8. Now that we can add equations, I'd like to see Xero add non-financial data for use in calculations. Specifically, I'd like to add a number that changes each month (number of clients). This will allow me to calculate the revenue per client. I would also like to add the number of clients lost and clients gained so I can calculate the churn rate and customer lifetime value (important to use in making decisions on marketing spend).

  9. Allow self employed who are not VAT registered to use MTD.
    I've just signed up to submit accounts via MTD with HMRC but Xero currently don't allow me to do this unless I use an accountant. I use Xero so I don't need an accountant... I'm now a bit stuck as HMRC require me to submit account for the current 2025-2026 tax year this way and I have no way of doing this. Please help! thanks.

    Thanks for your interest in Xero’s MTD for IT beta and for sharing this idea here. In the first phase of our beta, we’re only supporting Xero Partners.


    However this will be rolled out to users without an accountant, please complete our expression of interest form to register your interest and we’ll be in touch when we have more information on expanding the beta. You may also like to check out the MTD for the Self employed guide on the Xero website.

  10. Ability to email and print overpayment receipts from Xero.

    Purpose: Some accountants need to print and email overpayment receipts from Xero, and having this feature will make their work easier.

  11. The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) allows partners to fill out and submit a Partnership Tax Return (PTR) without being a registered tax agent or accountant. However, TPR is currently only available in Xero Tax, which is a professional tax preparation software package designed specifically (and only) for registered tax agents and accountants.

    Can I request that (like BAS and TPAR) the PTR report and lodgement features be made available in the base Xero software?

    Thanks for sharing your idea to add the Partnership Tax Return (PTR) to our base Xero packages.

    We're grateful for your engagement and letting us know the changes that matter to you and your business partnership.

    We've reviewed your idea and now it can gain support from other community members. Along with votes, others can now comment to share additional detail about how including PTR lodgement in the standard Xero software could improve their experience.

  12. Hi,

    Could you make the "Tell us what happened" box bigger? It's meant to be used for clients to give Xero detail of the what the issue is.

    It only takes 2 lines at a time and is abit annoying when trying to compile a message and give details.

    If you need to add more detail than two lines, you can resize the description box using the draggable corner in the bottom right.
    To be open and upfront, our product team don’t have any plans to change the description box at this time, but will see how the feedback evolves here and through other channels, and keep this in mind. We’ll be sure to pop back to let you know of any updates.

  13. It would be good to be able to clearly identify accounting practice users on a clients xero platform. All they see is name and email and it would be good if the accounting firms name was somehow shown to give clients comfort especially where firms outsource work.

  14. Now that Stripe offers Afterpay, it would be helpful to add Afterpay to Xero's native Stripe integration.

    Hi team, we're developing more ways to pay with Stripe!

    Soon you'll have the option to offer Afterpay as a payment method to your customers which we know is important to all of you who've voted on this idea.

    I'll round back to confirm when it's live and more detail of how to do this. 🙂

  15. Businesses need the ability to provide customers with itemized receipts so customers can process their insurance claims/tax deductions etc.
    Xero currently does not allow this - and it is very frustrating.

  16. Send or transfer files from the file library between organisations

    We have multiple organisations and it is easy to get emails mixed up with files being sent to the wrong organisation. It would be super useful if files could be transferred from one organisation to another directly from the file library.

  17. Add numerical discount to invoicing in the mobile app. This is a feature on the browser, currently the mobile app only allows a % discount.

    When you go from browser to app having applied a £ discount on the invoice. The app converts it into a % and show different amounts.

    Hi team, appreciate your feedback and wanting consistency between the web and mobile functionality.

    While I can confirm our product team are aware and across the idea here we want to be honest that we don't have immediate plans for developing the ability to add amount discounts within the Xero Accounting app.

    We'll keep tracking the votes and interest through this idea and update you if there's any news to share.

  18. This is for on the App. (Not website). to create purchase order from an invoice. And send the purchase order by email

  19. In order to track and approve "Working from Home" requests it would be useful if Xero would enable pay item ("Working from Home") to be created that would function in the same manner as a leave category but was not leave (i.e. would not be reported to the Tax Office as a type of leave).
    That way employees could apply to work from home, as they do annual leave, and approved working from home hours would automatically appear on the leave calendar.

  20. My role as a user is to load my credit card receipts into Purchases/Add Bill. On the template screen I would like to be able to have a "favorite's list" when selecting the "Categorise to an account". Also, all my expenses are to the same Department so it would be great if I could set a default, same with "Select tax rate". Thanks!
