AU Tax - Ability to create future tax forms for other entity types.
Ability to have future tax forms generated for multiple entity types and not just individuals. This will enable practitioners to prepare tax returns for entities that have substituted accounting periods much before the due dates without having to request extensions from the tax office also will give us the ability to work out the timing differences on tax profit more accurately rather than relying on spreadsheets etc.
360 votesHi team, along with the CRT, future year forms for trust(TRT), partnership(PTR) and fringe benefit(FBT) are now available to all Partners within Xero Tax (AU)! Once again, thanks for all engaging and interacting with us about this on Product Ideas. We hope these new forms improve your efficiency to lodge client returns early 😊

AU Tax - Losses carried forward - Tax (AUS)
Losses carried forward have to be manually entered each year. It would be great if the information flowed through automatically from the prior year tax return. This will help to reduce risks that someone may accidently omit or incorrectly enter losses.
186 votesHeya team! With updates we've just released for Xero Tax in Australia, we've also provided the capability being asked here for Company Tax Returns(CTR) - If a CTR is in a tax loss position in 2024, we'll roll over the loss into a losses worksheet in 2025.
We appreciate there may be other return types our customers want losses carried forward for. To get better insight of interest around these we recommend raising new ideas for the specific type of return you'd like to see this feature with.
You can check out the full range of updates we've made in Xero Tax on Xero Central.

Xero HQ - Hold placement on client list
stop flicking us back to the 'A' names once we have finished in a clients file.. go back to where it was as it takes time to scroll through all and keep clicking 'show more or load more'
160 votesHi all,
We've made changes to the client list - you can now sort the client list using all the columns. You can merge or add clients to groups from the list page, and choose how many clients you would like to view per page.
Pleased to say that this specific idea is now released 🎉 Whether you've reloaded the page or navigated to another page and returned, you can expect that the previous page, filter or search is preserved.

Xero Tax(AU) | Add Division 293 to tax estimation sheet
Add the calculation of our clients Div 293 liability to the tax estimation sheet.
96 votesHi everyone, as noted by another user on this idea this has been available since the 2020 tax return year.
The division 293 tax calculation can be calculated by creating a Superannuation contribution worksheet on the individual tax return. Once the worksheet is completed, on the estimate click on the 'Show fields' button next to the heading 'Other amounts that may affect the tax estimate'

e-invoicing - LHDN Malaysia
Starting from July 2024 Malaysia government implement e-invoicing. It would be grateful if Xero could integrate with LHDN. It will save lots of hustle and time to upload the invoices into the portal. Hope this can be done before the implementation begins.
82 votesHI everyone, apologies for the delayed update on the idea here. From 1 January 2025, if you earn between 25 million and 100 million RM, you need to comply with eInvoicing in Malaysia. This is the mandate set by IRBM.
As shared recently we have detailed help on Xero Central, and to summarise;
You'll need to register in Xero with invoici first, then you can send your eInvoice to IRBM from Xero.
Monthly you'll need to upload a consolidated eInvoice to the IRBM. This is a report on your income and self-billed activities and transactions via the IRBM portal.
IRBM has issued a relaxation of requirements for taxpayers in phases 2 and 3. During phases 2 and 3, you’re not required to send or receive eInvoices. But you can send and receive eInvoices from Malaysian businesses in Xero.

Xero Tax (AU) - Distribution from Managed Funds worksheet for TRT
Many our trust clients have investments in managed funds, e.g. Macquarie Wrap, etc. Unlike ITR, currently there is no "Distributions from Managed Funds" worksheet in TRT. This means, we need to enter Capital Gains and Foreign Income in the separate sections from "Distributions from Partnership/Trust" worksheet. It would be great if all components from Managed Funds distributions can be entered into one worksheet.
76 votesHiya everyone, this is now possible with the introduction of the Trust Income Schedule that's been made available through Xero Tax in Australia!
You'll find if a trust or beneficiary relationship has been set up in the client’s screen, these distributions save automatically from the trust return into the receiving return’s Trust Income Schedule - Read more on our changes through Xero Central.

AU Tax - Trust tax returns | Foreign income should flow through to ITR and CTRs
Currently, only some distribution amounts flow automatically from a Trust tax return to the Individual and Company beneficiary returns, and others have to be manually entered. There is also no clear area to enter these items into the individual and company returns.
This leaves room for error and causes efficiency and quality issues.
Our previous system handled this very well. It had a specific schedule for this type of distribution income.All distributed amounts, including capital gains and foreign income should be auto transferred to the correct labels into the beneficiary tax returns.
56 votesHiya everyone, we have just released changes for 2024 tax returns. As part of this we're pleased to share that for the Trust Income Schedule foreign income and Capital Gains Tax events will now distribute from the trust return into non-individual tax returns. 🎉
Thank you for all sharing and engaging with us in the idea, here.

XPM - Select Multiple Jobs to bulk change the job status
Could there be an extra column where you can tick multiple jobs so that the job status can be updated. Not only one job at a time.
44 votesHi team, thanks again for your input to product ideas. We have now released bulk actions for Jobs in Practice Manager.
From the Bulk actions button you'll find a number of items you can bulk update including; Priority, State, Start date, Due date and of course, Staff, Manager or Partner. 😊
We hope you find these actions speed up your workflow and make working with jobs that touch easier!

AU Tax | Company Tax Return - Partnership & Trust Distribution Worksheet
It would be good to have a version of the "Partnership and trust" worksheet from the individual tax return in the CTR as well. This would make it significantly easier to enter the correct amounts at 6D and 6E.
Having the appropriate amounts entered in the worksheet flow through to the capital gains schedule and the franking credits section of the calculation statement would also be advantageous as it would remove a lot of manual work associated with these items.
39 votesHey team, we've recently introduced the Trust Income Schedule in Xero Tax(AU). With the Trust Income Schedule if a trust or beneficiary relationship has been set up in the client’s screen, these distributions save automatically from the trust return into the receiving return’s Trust Income Schedule - You can find out more on these changes on Xero Central.

AU Payroll Employee Summary - Filter by Employee Groups
Went to filter my Payroll Employee Summary by employee Groups to show my Apprentices income for Payroll Tax Reporting and it's gone? Why? I've got to say it's getting really irritating that Xero features keep being removed overnight.
A suggestion - do not remove a feature and replace it until the new function does at a MINIMUM the same standard of functionality that was previously offered. Otherwise you're going to get alot of annoyed and fed up paying customers.
FYI - it's not hard for us as an accounting practice firm to migrate away from Xero if you continue to…
31 votesHey everyone, we appreciate your feedback and hearing what our customers need most when using this report.
Following the release of the new Payroll Employee Summary report found under the Accounting > Reports menu, we have done a recent update to enable the ability to filter by Employee Group. -
AU Tax | ITR - Managed fund distribution worksheet - discount capital gain prefilled incorrectly
Re Managed fund distribution worksheet, the field 'Current year capital gains - Discount method (Grossed-up amount)' was prefilled incorrectly.
It's prefilled with net amount instead of the grossed-up one, results in validation error, need to manually edited it.
It could be great if xero can fix this, thanks :)
24 votesHi team, apologies for not returning to this idea sooner. You'll find the Managed fund worksheet now has the ability to state whether the capital gains is reported as Gross or Net which will allow the Capital Gains Tax worksheets created to be correct.

Xero HQ - Business Client Dashboard
Xero HQ - Business Client Dashboard
I would like a section in Xero HQ to see key metrics across my business clients in the form of a dashboard screen.
The data displayed should be almost like an 'early warning system' for practice linked business clients that are falling behind on:
- Administration (Bank rec transactions, unlodged payruns/bas forms)
- Business performance is suffering (Significant decrease in quarterly sales, High 90 day+ debtors)
- Accounts hit certain thresholds set at a client level (Bank account overdrawn, GST/PAYG/Super Liabilities over a certain threshold)
This could also be used to spot client performing really well too.

21 votesHi team, as you may have wind of at Xerocon or one of our recent Roadshows we've been developing client insights which has just gone live for all Partners!
You'll find this within a new Insights tab available in both Xero HQ and XPM. It provides a view of all clients in one screen with a range of valuable information to help give you a snapshot of your clients health and help you quickly identify those that need attention and those that are doing well. Read up on finer detail, and dive in to start making the most of this tool. We hope this will save you time looking and comparing data, so you can spend more time helping your clients. 😊

Xero HQ - Client List to indicate who owns subscription
We're looking to add an indicator as to subscription ownership for the Xero HQ client list. This is just to say if the organisation is billed directly to the partner or if the partner is invited in and the client is responsible for the subscription.
This will be crucial for the Spark and Helix rollout to help customers work through with their clients and get subscriptions updated. We also believe this could help with transitioning some organisations from being partner billed to direct billed which will increase revenue for Xero.
20 votesHi community, with a recent update to the client export you now get a column for Subscriber email address. With the export file you can then filter the Subscriber email address column to exclude the practice's email and determine which of your clients own their own subscription. 🙂

My Xero - Visual indicator of reconciled client files
We have an issue with our Xero clients where we ask them to reconcile their accounts and let us know once completed so we can process their BAS.
The problem is that they never let us know so we have to go in to each client and see if they have reconciled up to the end of the prior period. This is very time consuming.
Is there a way that on the My Xero screen, there can be a column with some kind of indicator when a month or period has been completed?
This could be a quick visual guide…
20 votesHi everyone, as of today we've launched client insights for Partners which is available within Xero HQ and Xero Practice Manager. This screen gives you a view of all your clients and key indicators to help you analyse and compare how your clients are doing, in one place. As part of this you can see the number of unreconciled transactions a client has - their value and date, and judge whether the unreconciled transactions are likely to make a material difference to what you see on the insights dashboard. See more on this feature in our blog. 🙂

Practice Manager - Bulk Completion of Jobs
Bulk Completion of Jobs
Our team mark jobs as ready to invoice. It would be great if the billing team can click next to (select) mutliple jobs and click on a complete button without completing the jobs individually.19 votesHi everyone, we've released updates for bulk actions on Jobs in Practice Manager, including the ability to bulk update the State of multiple jobs at once.
No more having to complete jobs one-by-one, simply select the jobs you want to update, click Bulk actions and choose the State 🙂
Thank you all for your contributions and voting for this in Product ideas!

MTD for IT (Income Tax)
MTD for ITSA
Xero have been a bit quiet on the issue of MTD for ITSA. What is the suggested solution for ITSA? If the Xero plan is to charge the starter plan at £14/month (plus VAT) I think you will lose a lot of the market share. MTD for ITSA needs a simple £5/month solution for sole traders with ability to use expenses app for free. The costs of £14/month plus £2.50 for expenses is going to lose a lot of our clients to competitors like FreeAgent (which is free if you have an RBS/Natwest/Mettle account). Finding it hard…19 votesHi everyone, we want to assure you that Xero is fully committed to supporting you and your clients through the upcoming MTD changes. Making Tax Digital for Income Tax (MTD for IT) will be available across all Xero business plans, and as you may have seen we've also recently launched Xero Simple, a new plan built specifically to support non VAT registered sole traders and landlords, as they prepare for the next phase of Making Tax Digital.
With Xero Simple, you'll be able to manage finances, stay compliant, and adopt digital processes early. We appreciate the interest in how Xero will help you navigate MTD for IT and you can have confidence that Xero has you covered, whatever your needs.
More information on MTD for IT here and Xero Simple information for Xero partners here.

XPM - Add [Client] Group field to Criteria section in Report Builder
In Report Builder when building many types of reports (including Client & Contact and WIP Ledger), we would like to be able to filter for just one Client Group.
However, the [Client]Group field is only available in the Fields section, but not the Criteria section of the report. This means we can run a report for all clients and sort by group, but we cannot run a report just for one group.
This reporting is essential when managing an accounting practice - we need to see WIP Ledger entries pertaining to a particular client group, for billing and KPI purposes.19 votesHi community, 👋 thanks for all your support on this idea. I'm popping in to switch it across to delivered!
You'll find that both WIP Ledger and Client & Contact type reports now include the [Client] Group(s) criteria. This allows you to specify the client group you wish to report on.
For more information on which fields can be used in reports see Report Builder data fields'

NZ Tax - Add warning on IR4J if 7E and 8D are zero
NZ Tax -New item added Audit Check orange warnings - a check that advises the preparer that IR4J boxes 7E (Total Credits) and 8D (Total Debits) if they are zero and is this correct. This would check that the IR4J has been completed as this is occasionally missed
The audit check button should be available before the return is completed
17 votesHey community, this is now possible! 🎉The team have added new warnings on the IR4 which display if box 7E or 8D are zero. These warnings will show when there's no entry in these boxes and invite you to review the return.
Thank you for all your inputs here - we appreciate your feedback, it helps us to continue to shape the future of NZ Tax at Xero.

Xero Tax (UK) - Exclude Dividends note from filleted accounts
Xero HQ Filleted Accounts without Dividend Note
There should be a facility whereby the notes to the full accounts can be edited for the filleted accounts so that not all are disclosed at Companies House, such as, & very importantly the 'Dividend' note
16 votesHi everyone, thanks for your feedback on this idea. As part of our recent improvements to the notes & disclosures for FRS 1021a accounts, the dividends note is now included within the Directors report which isn't submitted to Companies House. We appreciate there is further work to do to maximise the flexibility here and always appreciate your feedback so please continue to add new ideas.

Xero Tax (UK) | Roll forward average number of employees
When entering the average number of employees in the notes, it would be great if Xero could bring forward the amount entered in the previous year to save time checking what it was!
16 votesHi everyone, thanks for voting on the idea here. We've made an update in Xero Tax in the UK that now accommodates your needs here. Employee amounts will now roll forward when you add the average number of employees to the notes.
