Milage claims - GST on business kilometres
The ATO allows businesses to claim the GST on cents per kilometre based on the business Kilometres travelled. The Milage claim in Xero currently does not have any tax category which means milage claims aren't showing on the GST reports and have to manually added to the BAS otherwise businesses are missing out on GST if not added manually.
For example, If staff travel 100kms for business, then the claim should reflect the following
100 kms x rate of 88cents (FY2026) totalling to $88. the $88 is inclusive of GST of $8.1 voteHi Camilla👋, we understand the importance of being able to track and claim GST on business mileage and appreciate you letting us know this functionality isn't available within Xero. We know that not having this feature causes extra work to manually calculate the GST on mileage claims. While we don't have this feature at the moment, we’d like to acknowledge the workarounds of manually calculating the GST component of the mileage claim and entering this as a separate line item when processing the expense claim. We understand this isn't ideal and adds extra work, but it may help for now. We're still actively monitoring this idea to see how much support it gets from our customers 👀. As always, we'll continue to provide updates as we have them. Please continue to share your feedback and vote for the idea! ✅

Document Pack - Schedule time to send document pack
Document Pack - Allow time delay.
For example I want to finish the work now but dont want it sent to the client for another 2 days so can set a time to be sent out.1 voteHi Alexandra, thanks for sharing your idea about being able to schedule the time to send a document pack.

Xero Tax fields in XPM to be importable and extended to UTRs for business tax clients.
Within XPM there are fields for individuals in the Tax section of Client with UTR and National Insurance number. It is not possible to import and upload to them, this would be useful as they then link to Xero Tax when filing a tax return. Currently we have them stored in a custom field as these weren't available originally. It would be good to be able to import all of our custom fields to the system's UTR and NINO fields.
There is also not a Tax section on Limited Company clients to add a UTR to. Companies need UTRs and…
2 votesHi Stewart, thanks for raising this idea. It’s clear that the ability to import Unique Taxpayer References (UTR) and National Insurance Numbers (NINO) is important to you, and we hear the pain points about the extra manual work involved in not having this feature. A possible workaround is using a custom field for now, which can help keep this data within Xero Practice Manager. ⭐I wanted to provide an update on this. At Xerocon, we announced new developments for Xero Practice Manager and Xero HQ that are designed to improve efficiency and help you manage clients more effectively. While I can't promise a specific timeline or confirm that this exact feature will be included, we believe these enhancements will help streamline many of the workflows you’ve highlighted. We'll be sure to provide another update as soon as we have more information. Thank you for your patience and for helping us…

UK Xero Tax - BADR £1m lifetime allowance automatic cap
Automatic BADR lifetime allowance £1m application.
At present for a gain of over £1m you need to enter two transactions, one with a £1m gain to apply BADR, and the remainder to be charged at 20% (24/25).
It would be much better if the system knew the lifetime allowance and applied it only up to the limit.
At present if you put the whole transaction to BADR it will apply 10% to more than £1m which is incorrect.

NZ Tax - Notification when there is overdistribution of income types in an IR6
When making distributions to beneficiaries, we are able to distribute more than the income type recorded i.e. if there is $1,000 of interest income you can distribute $10,000 of interest income to a beneficiary if there are other types of income and it doesn't put the total at keypoint 21B in the return to a negative figure. It would be helpful if the over distribution of interest was picked up by the audit check.

AU Tax - Enable Rollover of Dividend and Interest Schedules for Non-Client Shareholders in Xero Tax
Enable Rollover of Dividend and Interest Schedules for Non-Client Shareholders in Xero Tax
17 votesHi everyone 👋 thanks for your continued feedback and for sharing your thoughts on this idea. While this idea is not currently on our development roadmap, we are always reviewing feedback to help us shape our product priorities. As a workaround for now, you can use the existing data roll-over function for client shareholders and then manually adjust the details for non-client shareholders. We'll be in touch with another update if there is any change to the status of this idea.

Practice Manager - Add a VAT Reconciliation report in the Reports section
Hi there, could Xero please add a VAT reconciliation report to the reports section where we can reconcile each VAT period's VAT payable/receivable to the VAT control account. This would make the VAT reviews and VAT reconciliations at year end so much easier and faster.

Practice manager - Stop importing invoices into XPM for non clients
Xero's feature of importing invoices into XPM is great for clients. But there is no way currently to stop importing them for people who aren't clients. Currently - we sell digital products, which we need to keep invoices for. Every time a digital product is sold, it creates a new client in XPM. They aren't clients.There should be the option to only import if a client exists in XPM.

Report Builder Fields - fields from Tax Return Data
It is not currently possible to pull a report of all clients that have Franked distributions (field U) and Franking credit (field D) on their tax returns. As the ATO has released a new area of focus on franking credit trading rules known as the '45 day holding period rule' we would like an easy way to track and highlight companies that could

Depreciation Schedule - Adjustable Columns
Be able to expand or reduce the size of a column in the depreciation schedule.
We are finding when we add extra columns it is making the depreciation method column really large and you cant adjust it. Making the page stretched across longer that it needs to be.See attachment as an example.
1 voteAfter some testing, we discovered that downloading the file in Excel or Google Sheets format and then saving it as a PDF reduces the column size. While this may not be ideal, it can serve as a temporary workaround.

UK Tax - For CT600 box 326 to be left blank but be a compulsory field
I think to reduce the risk of associated companies not being included in the CT600 in error box 326 should be left blank by Xero but compulsory so that that the return can not be generated without it.

Report Templates - Add Tracking summary report
add more reports into report template, for example payroll report and tracking summary. Thank you.
62 votesHi team, this report has been split out from a previous one that requested the addition of both payroll and tracking summary reports to Report Templates. It's unlikely both these reports would be added at once, and it's good to track the interest in each.
While we have just released a new Tracking Summary report in Xero this isn't something that's been added to Report Templates just yet, if there are any plans for this we'll let you know here. Thanks

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.

XPM - Set date to run Aged Debtor Report
Ability to run an Aged Debtors Report of what debts clients owed us at a certain date in XPM. For example, we want to see what our clients owed us at 30/06/25, however the Standard Report (Aged Balance Report) can't be run to a certain date and if we create our own Report in Report Builder it removes clients from the report if they have paid since 01/07/25 and now owe nothing. We need these figures to do clients Financials and also for our own Practice reporting. We can run it in Xero Blue however we don't have the ability…

AU Tax - Default refund account type to client
AU TAX - Default EFT account type to CLIENT
Under Cover > Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) > Account type there are 3 options - Manual, Client, and Agent.
It would be helpful if there was a setting in Client Settings > Client Types to default the EFT Account type, so we don't have to manually change this on every return.
