AU Tax | Report Builder - More specific fields
We would like to see more custom report options that reflect the returns so we can interrogate and pull information out of Xero tax in relation to clients
In particular, get a list of every client that has a number in the Tax Return Labels – Interest Expense or Interest Expense overseas or Royalty Expenses Overseas - See attach screenshots

UK Tax - Corporation Tax Marginal Relief computation
Please can the corporation tax computation include a calculation of the marginal relief.
This would need to include the amount of associated companies and the calculation of the marginal relief amount rather than just showing the total of marginal relief.

Reporting - Consistency in the default naming convention for dates
I know this is not critical for the reporting accuracy of Xero within, but it would be a great help to those who extract many times a report from Xero and have multiple clients handling. I hope Xero Support can find ways to be consistent in their naming convention by default. And not overriding names thru Report layouts. Thanks!
6 votesAppreciate sharing your thoughts on date conventions used across reports in Xero, Danmark. While there's standardisation across the way dates are shown across Xero, there can be slight differences based on region, as well as the period being reflected.
For example all regions excepting US will show date format as Date Month Year, where-as US will be formatted as Month Day, Year.
When Xero reports for a general period like an entire month or year this is abbreviated to the shortest date format that represents that period e.g June 2025 or 2025 respectively, however when running a report for a singular 'as at' date the entire date is shown such as 13 June 2025.
While I appreciate it doesn't mean a change to the formatting that you're requesting here, hopefully this sheds light on where date formatting may differ and gives more assurance that there's a structured approach to how…

XPM - Notification of draft invoices
It would be great if there was some automatic notification to the client/job manager that a draft invoice has been raised and is awaiting approval.
Probably just one email per day so they are not being spammed!

XPM - Time cost per entry when reviewing task postings
When invoicing in XPM and choosing the task postings options Yes/No/Future, can you add a column for the cost (not just time and rate) so we can judge what to invoice and how much for.
1 voteHi Emily, thanks for sharing this fantastic suggestion for improving the invoicing workflow in XPM. We can see how having more direct visibility of costs would make billing decisions much easier.
We've reviewed your idea to add a calculated 'Cost' column on the screen when reviewing task postings to be invoiced. We understand this would help you better judge what to invoice and how much for at a glance.
Your suggestion is now ready to gain support and feedback from others in the community. Along with votes, other users can now share how having this cost visibility would impact their own billing and WIP management processes.

XPM - More user friendly client & date selection
When running reports, posting timesheets etc, it would be good for the client search function to search the entire name, rather than requiring exact input. Similarly, the ability to type a date in any format (e.g. DD/MM/YY), rather than being exact or using the calendar icon.
1 voteHi Emily, thanks for sharing this feedback on how we can make everyday tasks in XPM more user-friendly. We know that improvements to common fields like search and date entry can make a big difference to overall efficiency.
We've reviewed your suggestions for making the client search function more flexible so it searches the entire name, and for allowing dates to be typed in various formats. We can see how these changes would streamline tasks like running reports and posting timesheets.
Your idea is now ready to gain support and feedback from other members of our practice community. Along with votes, others can now share how these kinds of usability improvements to client search and date selection would help streamline their own daily workflows.

Practice Manager | Jobs - Ability to change information sections
Would it be possible to close sections of the job that you don't use and these stay as default. (Information Tax - job details, custom fields etc.) This would make it easier to see the sections you do use. It would also be useful if you would put them in the order you prefer.
For example to me the most important section is tasks and these are quite low down the list. I would like this to be a default setting.
1 voteThanks for the idea, Sally. We'll keep an eye on the interest for this here and let you know if there are any changes planned around this.

Practice Manager - 'Sticky Note' on client home page
To have a function that essentially works as a sticky note on the details page of the clients file. Although there is the notes function, it it easily lost within the multiple tabs, however if something was right there on the home screen for all to see it isn't as easily missed/ignored. It could be something simple like a staff member has been trying to get in touch with the client, or bringing attention to an address change, noting the preferred method for documents to be signed etc.

XPM - Job Budgets easily seen under the Jobs tab
It would be great to see the budgets easily when we open the Jobs tab in XPM. This will help us have a quick glance at the budget for each job rather than opening each job in a new browser tab or generate a report.

Organisations - Indication/Warning/Flag when changing organisation
It is too easy currently to click back/undo one too many times and end up inadvertently posting into a different organisation from the one you were working on.
I was showing a colleague how to do something in the Demo company, but I clicked back too many times and ended up making my dummy postings into a client's organisation instead.
For accountants and bookkeepers who have multiple clients and multiple transactions to post, this could create a lot of unnecessary work that can easily be avoided by some kind of indication that you are changing organisation.2 votesHi Alli, we're grateful for your engagement and letting us know the changes that matter to you.
Our Community team has reviewed your idea, and it is now classified as Gaining Support. Along with votes, others can comment to share additional detail about how your idea could improve their experience with Xero.
To make the idea easier for others to find and vote for, I have updated the title to align with our naming conventions.
Thanks again for your engagement!

Practice Manager | Clients - Digital ID integration
With the movement towards Digital ID (MyID, Auspost Digital ID, Connect ID).
https://www.digitalidsystem.gov.au/
It would be convenient if we could onboard clients using these systems. Would ensure that details were correct and identify the clients at the same time.
Is Xero working on this?

AU Tax - ITR signatory for deceased or incapacitated individuals
Where the individual client title has been changed to "Executor for" or "Representative for" the declarations should also be updated with this information. Currently the declarations still just use the individual name, who may be deceased or unable to sign on their own behalf.

XPM - Replace Radio Buttons with Check Boxes
When preparing an invoice, it would be great if you could replace the radio buttons with check boxes within tasks and also be able to bulk update the Billable status on timesheet entries within a task to Yes, No or Future.
If you have a task with a lot of timesheet entries, and you only want to bill a few of them, it's very time consuming to have to select one by one to change the Billable status to Future.7 votes -
AU Tax - Ability to change password for Outcome of Assessment(OoA)
see CX0014868568
can we modify the password settings?
we prefer dd/mm/yyyyor allow us to modify the password in whatever way we see fit.
the current method of dd-Mmm-yyyy with the first letter of the month being capitalise gets cumbersome for clients
1 voteThanks for sharing your idea in the forums here, Christopher. There aren't any plans around this right now, but we'll gain a sense of the interest for being able to edit the password for OoA's from your idea here, and share if there's any news.

NZ Tax - Multiple IR833 Forms
At the moment, we can only add one IR833 per client when doing tax returns. It would be great to have the ability to add more IR833 forms, as otherwise, if the client sells more than one property, we need to file the forms directly through the IRD, which can be time-consuming.
14 votesAppreciate you sharing back in ideas with us here. IRD requirement changes mean that the IR833 form can’t be filed as a standalone return and must be sent as an attachment to a tax return. Only one form can be attached per return.

Workpapers - Ability to delete duplicate clients from the organisation list
When creating a new workpaper pack, clients appearing under the Organisation dropdown is taken from XPM (as a one-way sync).
It isn't possible to delete duplicate clients in Workpapers, even once they've been removed from XPM and the information has been synced again.
The downside is that the Permanent workpaper isn't brought forward from LY and there's no sync to XPM (as it's connected to the true client record).
The workaround is to edit the client name in the Settings (by putting a DNU or ZZ in the name), save it, then delete that Workpaper.
It would be preferable to…
1 voteHi Anthony, thanks for submitting this detailed idea for improving Xero Workpapers.
We can certainly see how having duplicate clients appear in the organisation list would be frustrating, especially when it prevents permanent files from being brought forward correctly. Your suggestion to have a two-way sync with XPM or the ability to directly archive or delete these duplicates makes a lot of sense.

NZ Tax - Tax returns show amount at Tax Pooling
Currently NZ clients can make payments to a Tax Pooling provider (e.g. Tax Traders or TMNZ) and they will sit in the Tax Pooling Providers account until transferred to IRD.
In the clients mind they have 'paid this tax' already, but when the tax return is prepared in XPM there is no sign of any tax pooling payments, and it shows the full tax liability.It would be great if there was a way to type in how much has been paid to Tax Pooling, and record this on the front page of the tax return so there is a…
1 voteThank you for this excellent and detailed suggestion regarding NZ tax returns and tax pooling payments.
We can certainly see how clients would find it confusing when their prepared tax return in XPM doesn't reflect payments they have already made to a provider like TMNZ or Tax Traders. Your idea to add a note or a specific field on the return to record this amount would be a great way to provide clarity and manage client expectations.
