AU Tax: Colour code text to distinguish between refundable and payable amounts
Just a simple one, but it has something I've spoken to many Xero account managers over the years.
When preparing a tax return, you currently see an amount payable or amount refundable in text, and the dollar amount in bold black next to it.
I feel that it would be a simple, yet positive change, to have the dollar value display in green when there is an amount refundable, or red when there is an amount payable. The colour system ensures that there can never been any mistake when quickly glancing at the dollar amount, for instance, when doing a face to face tax appointment with a client.
It also promotes a bit of extra inclusivity, as those who may be harder of sight will find it much easier to associate green with good, red with bad.

Totally agree with this, it also saves embarrassent if you have had a massive day or back to back appointments from early to late and accidently read it wrong and then have to somehow explain to the client that they don't have a refund that it is a payable after accidently misreading it
