Xero Tax - Track time spent on a return
Can you automatically keep the start and end times when working on a tax return per user.
2 votesAppreciate you raising this idea about tracking time on returns within Xero Tax, Neil. It’s something that can make a difference for teams trying to manage capacity or reflect on the actual effort behind each return.
This idea is now sitting in the gaining support stage, which means it’s open for others in the community to engage with. As more votes and comments come through, it helps the product team see where this functionality might be most impactful and what specific outcomes users are looking for.
If there’s a particular reporting format, integration, or manual workaround you’re currently using to track this, sharing that in the comments could be really helpful. It adds valuable context and helps show how this could tie into existing practice workflows.

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…

Bank Search – Show Categorized Account in Results
I’d like to suggest a small but valuable feature update:
When we search for a bank memo, description, or reference in bank transactions or account transactions (e.g., “UberBV”), Xero does return the transactions, but the categorized account (account head) is not visible in the search results.
In MYOB, when performing the same search, the results also show the categorized account, which helps identify how transactions were coded in the past. This saves time and ensures consistency during reconciliations.
Feature Request:
Please consider updating Xero so that when searching transactions (by memo, description, or reference), the categorized account column also displays…

Workpapers - Lock date
Like Xero, there should be a lock date function for workpapers also so that after partner approval no one can change that and for changes partners approval is required.

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.

UK Tax - Detailed Profit & Loss in statutory accounts for Micro Entities
Ability to generate a detailed Profit and Loss and Balance Sheet in the Statutory accounts for micro entities.
3 votesHi Doina, as mentioned in my recent update here. I've split your idea into two, so we can gain understanding of the support in each separately.
It'll be good to get a gauge of community interest for a Detailed Profit & Loss in the Statutory accounts for Micro Entities within Xero Tax(UK), through this idea.
This isn't something we have road mapped atm, but we'll share if there are any updates.

Workpapers | Transactions - Column for mileage
Allow a Column on your main page of transactions for mileage so you can add the mileage to the column for sales to be calculated
I am a private hire driver and this I believe will benefit taxis and private hire drivers or people who do a lot of driving as a business.
Can they not add another column on this page that we can add the mileage for each job that can then be calculated at the end of year as you do with what fairs come in or sales coming.
Again, this would benefit greatly for small businesses…
3 votesThanks Simon, it does appear that you're referring to the jobs related to workpapers directly that you'd record mileage for.
This isn't something that we have plans for right now, but we'll track the interest and share if there are any changes to update you on.

Practice Manager - Stop auto correct for daylight savings in Timer
To stop the autocorrection for daylight saving in the Timer. I know only happens twice a year, but is very frustrating trying to enter time when the Timer keeps adding (or removing) an hour from the time entered. For example - when enter 09.00 in the Start time, jumps to 10.00; then when enter 10.00 in End time, both the Start and End time jump to 11.00.
Please can have corrected so the time does not autocorrect.2 votesThank you for sharing your valuable suggestion and clearly outlining the specific changes that matter to you. We've reviewed your idea, and it's now officially open for the community to champion and support! To maximize its visibility and potential, please share it with your colleagues who would also benefit so they can add their vote.

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.

Hubdoc - Set date to current century
Stop dating in 1900s.
Today I typed in the date 5/3/25. Click on the little calendar that appears, the month says March 25. Click on 5 March 25.Hubdoc interprets this as the year 1925.
I dont think there are many people entering receipts from 100 years ago.
Please remove those last century calendars from Hubdoc.While you fix that, since the Hubdoc file is linked to a Xero file can you also stop hubdoc processing into a closed year. It warns you AFTER it's been sent to Xero, then doesn't let you correct it because of the status -…
9 votesThanks for sharing this with us here, Vicki. I've made sure your feedback is passed onto our product team.
It's best if an idea is specific to one feature request so that others know what they're voting for and to help product better understand the interest for a feature.
We have a separate idea around the lock dates that I've just added your vote for across here. We don't have any plans for this but if any are made I'll let you know, there.

Xero Tax - Allow manual allocation of R&D expenditure for long accounting periods
When inputting R&D figures for a period of account longer than 12 months (i.e. where 2x corporation tax returns are needed), we are unable to put specific R&D expenditures in a specific corporation tax periods. This is an issue with overseas workers where the periods are pre and post 1 April 2024, and where expenditure is only eligible in one of the periods. As currently, the expenditure is pro-rated, this means that non-qualifying expenditure is being brought into one of the periods.
Is it possible to create a feature which allows for the expenditure to be split correctly between the…

Job Manager - Client group column
Please add a column or filter to the XPM Job Manager screen for client Groups. There is currently no column/filter for client group in the job manager screen in XPM - which means if you want to see all the jobs for a client group - e.g. Alf Barbagallo - have to search each entity individually. Also means cannot easily do a bulk update for all jobs in a client group.

UK Tax - Settings for MTD messages and dismiss for clients who don't use it
It would be good to have more control of the error messages, and ability to dismiss these for specific clients. This would reduce noise for clients that you do not do VAT for.

New staff Experience - Ability to view staff certification in Staff tab
In the new HQ experience it'd be good to see staff's certifications without having to click into each of them individually
4 votesWe’ve updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support.
Currently, you can hover over a certification to view the expiry date, with colour indicators showing when a certification is close to expiring (yellow) or already expired (red). This idea suggests extending that functionality by including the certification type directly within the Staff tab.
If this change would improve how you work, we encourage you to vote or comment to show your support. Your input helps inform areas of focus for future improvements.

XPM Invoicing - Customisable default sort order on the invoice list.
We should be able to customise this invoice date order as a default setting, it opens in no order and having to click on the Due Date twice every time to get the invoices in order of latest to oldest to check before billing on every client is a real pain and waste of time when we have to do it so often.
We would appreciate you looking at making this a customisable setting very soon, thank you2 votesWe appreciate you sharing your valuable idea and identifying the changes that matter most to you.
