Tax Manager - include BAS management
The ability to create or show BAS statements in the tax manager would be good - you used to be able to create them from the tax tab but now I have to go into the client themselves and click create. Or just some way to make this easier overall - whether you have a BAS section in the Tax Manager, or a create statement button up the top.
9 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing this suggestion! We understand that including Business Activity Statements (BAS) in Tax Manager would make it much easier to track all your clients’ obligations in one place.
At the moment, activity statements are managed separately in Xero Tax, so you’ll need to navigate to that section to track and update them. We can see how bringing everything into a single view would make your workflow more efficient.
We’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can track interest and share with our product teams.

AU Tax - Lodgement widget due dates matches ATO
Lodgements Widget - match ATO due date from the client screen rather than in tax return - OR auto update unlodged tax returns when sync from ATO is done.
Ours is now all out of whack now that we have applied for lodgement extensions. The due date is correct on the client screen, but it doesn't automatically update unlodged tax returns so the widget is now giving incorrect information about our lodgement stats. ATO has correct figures.
4 votesHi Fleur, thanks for raising this idea. We understand why having lodgement widget due dates align with ATO statutory deadlines could be useful when managing multiple client obligations.
The idea is to update the Lodgement widget so the due dates used match the official ATO deadlines, helping practices track upcoming lodgements with greater confidence.
We encourage the community to vote on this idea if you’d find this compliance workflow improvement useful.

XPH | Tax Manager - Add numerical item counts to all status category headers
Counts of items in FILED Categories
Item counts have recently been added to In Progress TAB
Please finish the job and add counts to FILED
(and Ready to Start?)
This is a useful metric for us5 votesHi Serge. thanks for highlighting this. We understand how helpful it would be to see item counts in each status at a glance when managing your workload.
Adding counts to headers like “Ready to Start,” “In Progress,” and “Filed” would make it much easier to track volumes without extra clicks or scrolling.
I’ve moved this to Gaining Support so we can track interest and highlight to our product team how this could improve day-to-day visibility in Tax Manager.

Tax Manager - Include other return types
In the future do you think you might expand from just showing tax returns, to showing outstanding activity statements, TPAR and FBT returns for clients? It would be so much easier and time efficient, having the information in one spot, then having to login to the ATO Portal and search this information for each client.
1 voteThanks for bringing this to the community. We understand the request for Tax Manager to include outstanding Activity Statements, TPAR and FBT returns, rather than focusing on income tax returns alone.
Having these obligations visible in one place could make it easier for practices to monitor outstanding returns.
I’ve updated the status to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest. If this could help your practice, add your vote and share which returns you'd like to include in the Tax Manager.

Tax Manager - Option to remove or hide coloured status tiles next to tax returns
remove colorful tiles in front of tax returns in tax manager please. it is not helpful. the colors have not meaning and only create noises
1 voteThanks for highlighting this improvement. We understand the request for an option to hide coloured status indicators in Tax Manager list.
For now, you can use the available status filters to narrow the list to the returns you need to review, although this doesn’t remove the tiles themselves.
We’ve updated the status to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest. If this could improve your workflow, add your vote and share your feedback.

Tax Manager - Include prior year returns in Ready To Start
Prior year returns from ATO list that are not lodged need to be in the ready to start list.

AU Tax returns - Notes: Add and Display Notes before history
In a tax return we have the option to Add notes. When we add them, we can't see them without clicking into them. I use Notes to say if a return is manually signed.
My suggestions are:
1. Logically the option to Add Note should be immediately above the History listing (ie on the line where the View Notes toggle is) so users don't have to hunt around for it.
2. The Note details (ie the text of the Note) should be visible in the listing, not behind another link.1 voteThanks for sharing this idea. We understand the request to display user notes above the system history in tax returns. Having key notes more prominently positioned could make it easier for reviewers to find important context without scrolling through the full history.
We've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest. If this could improve your workflow, add your vote and let us know how you'd like the notes to be displayed.

Tax Manager - Add button to request Income Tax Client report directly from the "Ready to Start" screen
have a button within the 'ready to start' screen that requests the income tax client report list (per article: https://central.xero.com/s/article/Income-Tax-Client-report#ViewtheIncomeTaxClientreportdetailsinReportBuilder), and the ability to bring in all the client tax returns ready to file (where not already brought in)
3 votesWe appreciate you sharing this idea, Bec! We understand that having to leave the Tax Manager just to pull a client report can slow you down when you’re ready to work on a return. A direct "Request Report" button on the Ready to Start screen would make the pre-filing process more seamless and help you stay focused.
Currently, the workaround is to open a separate tab or go to the Reports menu to run the Income Tax Client report manually. We’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can track interest and show our product teams how this simple shortcut could speed up your tax preparation workflow.

XPH | Tax Manager - Ability to search across all returns status
Add a filter to the top filters to search by All not just Ready to Start/In Progress/Filed/Errors, if you are looking to see a BAS status then you have to search in all 3 if you are not sure what status it is at from this home page or you have to go back via the client.
1 voteHi Amy, when searching for a specific lodgement, needing to check each status tab can take a bit of time. Being able to search across all return statuses in one place would make it much easier to quickly find what you’re looking for, regardless of its current stage.
At the moment, this requires clicking through each tab in Tax Manager or going back into the client record.
I’ve moved this to Gaining Support so we can track interest and share it with our product teams as a potential improvement to search and navigation.

Client - Add a search bar to "Add to group" feature
When adding a client to a group you have to sort and scroll through the list, you can't even type a certain letter to short cut the process. Please create a 'search' function in the groups list to make it easier to add clients to a group
1 voteHi Kellie, thanks for sharing this suggestion.
It sounds like as client group lists get larger, scrolling through a long menu to find the right group can slow things down. Adding a search option to the “Add to group” function would make it quicker and more straightforward to organise client records.
At the moment, selecting groups in Xero Practice Manager involves manually scrolling through the available list, which can become more time-consuming in larger practices with more complex group setups.
I’ve moved this to Gaining Support so we can track interest and help our product teams understand how adding search here could improve everyday efficiency when managing client groups.
