Xero Tax AU - Thin Capitalisation Reminder
If interest expense in Item 6 is over $2M, Xero Tax should remind preparers to consider thin capitalisation rules.
Reduces risk of oversight on large returns.
1 voteHi Zoe, thanks for sharing this idea about adding a thin capitalisation reminder in Xero Tax AU. We appreciate you highlighting how an automated prompt could support tax preparers when interest expenses exceed the $2M threshold. We've reviewed your idea and it's now moved to Gaining Support, which means it's open for community support through votes and comments. We'd love to hear from others in the community who might benefit from this type of compliance reminder, so please continue to share your thoughts and vote if this resonates with your practice needs.

Xero Tax (AU) - Automatic alert for Trustee Beneficiary (TB) Statements in Trust Returns
Idea:
Xero Tax should automatically detect when a trustee beneficiary (TB) statement is required (e.g. when a trust distributes to another trust without a family trust election or interposed entity election).
The software should prompt or block lodgment if a TB statement is missing, similar to other compliance checks.

UK Tax | Company - Liquidation & Cessation Accounts and CT Returns
Please add the functionality to set a cessation of trade date for a company in liquidation or in the insolvency process to allow for accounts and corporation tax returns to be produced from the last year end to the date of cessation of trade/insolvency.
This will enable Accountants to produce these closing accounts and CT returns from HMRC and so offer a one stop shop and earn more revenue.

Bank revaluation and tracking categories
Currently our monthly bank revaluation FX diff is being automatically coded by Xero to be split between tracking categories rather than simply being "unassigned". However, for our purposes, once USD are banked, they no longer "belong" to that tracking category and instead are general company funds. It is impossible to tell Xero to stop coding revaluation amounts to tracking categories but this doesn't make sense for the accounts, especially when a tracking category finished within the business months ago. It would make more sense for the FX funds held to be an unassigned tracking category once they are in the…

XPM - Import Job Budgets
We'd like the ability to import job budgets at the time of importing new jobs. The budget field seems to be a standard field for jobs, so I see there would be no reason we can't add the budget at the same time of the import.

Staff Teams appear as a filter option When assigning User access to client accounts.
It would be useful to have set Staff Teams appear under the 'Filters' list when adding new users to a client.
We have our internal teams set up as Staff Teams in our practice, and it would speed up allocating access if we could filter the list of staff via these teams.

Request to Enable Proposal and Estimate Sync from XPM to Xero Accounting
I’m reaching out to request assistance regarding a feature enhancement for Xero Practice Manager (XPM). Currently, XPM allows invoices to be pushed seamlessly to Xero Accounting (blue), which is incredibly helpful. However, I’ve noticed that proposals and estimates created in XPM cannot be pushed to Xero Accounting in the same way.
I would like to request that XPM be enhanced to support the ability to push proposals and estimates directly to Xero Accounting. This functionality would allow clients to take advantage of Xero blue’s interactive features—particularly the ability for clients to simply click a button to mark a proposal as…
2 votesAppreciate you attaching a screenshot to demonstrate your flow here, Badi. Just wanted to check as this is a public forum there's nothing sensitive in this that you wouldn't want others to see?
Can understand why you'd like to enhance the sync of information and save time in adding these manually in Xero blue.
Not something we have immediate plans of but we'll start collecting community interest for this through your idea and update if there are any plans made.

Cash coding overpayments to suppliers and customers
Allow bulk cash coding as an overpayment to a supplier so they appear on the aged payables list instead of having to do them individually through find & match.

Put hyperlnks back in jobs
Previously when a job was created in XPM from ignition, a hyperlink was created to the proposal inside the XPM job. We always click this to access the proposal and issue the invoice when finalsing. This link is now converted to plain text which requires either copying and pasting or opening ignition and manually browsing to the proposal.
Would be great to have this functionality restored.1 voteHi 👋 your idea is being looked into by our Community team. We'll be in touch soon to update you once your idea has been reviewed.

Workpapers - Auto calculate Interest Accruals
It would be great if Xero recognised Bank term deposits or Pie deposits, and could record the interest rate, compounding periods, and calculate accruals to balance date.
4 votesHi Paul, thanks for sharing this idea. Being able to automatically calculate interest accruals on bank term deposits or PIE deposits within Workpapers would definitely help save time and improve accuracy across your clients.
This idea is now in the Gaining Support stage, which means it’s on the product team’s radar for further consideration. The votes and comments from the community will help show how valuable this feature is to the wider Xero community and assist in shaping future updates.
We’ll keep you informed here as soon as we have any news.

2 votesThanks,Charlotte, for sharing your idea!
We've reviewed it, and it's now live for the community to support. Other Xero users can now vote and comment on how it would improve their Xero experience.

Tax withholding on foreign resident bank interest
Currently there is no function in XPM to calculate the tax payable on the interest paid to a foreign resident. This causes the tax calculations not be correct.

Distribution to Beneficiaries with Irregular Characters in their Names
We have some companies and trusts with characters such as hyphens in their legal names. However, Xero Tax does not allow us to distribute directly to these entities due to these characters in their names.
Our current work around is entering the beneficiaries' details manually, but then the distribution does not flow directly to the beneficiaries' returns.
I think this may be a ATO limitation. However, in other tax programs I have used, I was able to use an alternate name so the distribution could still be directly linked to the beneficiaries return. I would like a similar feature in…

AU tax: Enhance Input Accuracy for Amounts with Decimals
This is a fault that needs fixing. If I want to enter, say 7.20, but I pause briefly, very briefly, after entering the decimal point, before entering the 2, the decimal point disappears. This leads to massive inaccuracies

Report Templates - Text blocks
For text blocks, particularly in the Annual Financial Statements, would it be possible to add a text alignment option (left, centre, right, or justify)? My main request is for the ‘justify’ function, as it makes the reports appear neater and more professional.

Beneficial Ownership
Put all CIPC related applications in a separate secretarial Application. Beneficial Ownership has nothing to do with Tax, and I don't do tax so can't use Gatekeeper but I advertise Beneficial Ownership a lot and use a good, priced Beneficial Ownership submission to get my foot in the door and then try sell the client on Xero. You could also look at submitting Annual Returns to CIPC out of Xero as you have the clients Company registration number as well as their turnover.

Contacts listing "They Owe" and "You Owe" more readable if aligned with accounting norms.
The Contacts listing in Xero shows amount owing on left and amount receivable on right, it would be more 'readable' to accountants if it were the other way around:
They Owe - left side / debit / current asset
You Owe - right side / credit / current liability1 voteHi 👋 your idea is being looked into by our Community team. We'll be in touch soon to update you once your idea has been reviewed.

Ability to generate a detailed Profit and Loss and Balance Sheet in the Statutory accounts for micro entities.

As you've mentioned 2 separate reports I've split your idea so we can get an understanding of the community interest in each and keep you updated if there are any plans made.
I've renamed this one specifically for a detailed Balance Sheet and you'll find another for a detailed Profit & Loss over here.

Client Pop up window
I propose introducing a pre-profile pop-up in Xero XPM to provide immediate access to critical client information, including linked contacts, billing references, and direct hyperlinks to individual contacts. This feature would also allow for the configuration of custom reminders, ensuring that key client details and actionable prompts are prominently displayed to enhance staff efficiency and client service.
