Xero Tax (AU) - PAYG Instalment Estimate Worksheet improvements
Could we get a PAYG Instalment worksheet please, with an option to tick if a client is a new entrant to the PAYG instalment system and a field where we can enter the expected lodgement date of the tax return. These fields can then drive the PAYG instalment estimate for the current financial year.
Currently Xero just estimates the instalments for the four quarters which isn't always correct. For example if we lodge a return in November and the client is entering the PAYG instalment system for the first time, there's no way to zero out the September quarter without…17 votes"Thank you for submitting your feedback and highlighting the improvements that are important to you.

AU Tax - Pull client date of death into return
It would be useful for the client date of death field to automatically be pulled into the relevant tax return if field to save manual look up and entry when entering client tax returns.
8 votesWe appreciate that with date of death now available as a field on a client record that some users would like to see this automatically pull through to the relevant tax return.
While we don't have direct plans of this right now we're keen to get a sense of interest in this from our partners in community.

Xero Tax(AU) - Cover letter Placeholders Estimated Division 293 Liability
It would be great to have a cover letter placeholder that alerted the client to the estimated Div 293 that would be payable (as the superannuation contributions worksheet) and that the ATO would issue a separate assessment. The note on the estimate is not prominent enough and easily missed by clients. Having it default on the letter would be another opportunity to make sure the client sees it.
6 votesThanks for sharing your thoughts on this idea. We appreciate you highlighting how important clear client communication is when it comes to Division 293 tax liabilities.

AU Tax - Show total Payable/ Refund amount on Activity Statement
The Activity Statements in Xero Tax need to have the total payable/refundable at the top of the screen like the Tax Returns do. It would be nice to see the result when you're on a different page than the summary page.

ATO - Medicare data
Grab all ATO online prefill data. Why exclude the data that shows how many days hospital cover was covered? Why not provide all the data that is available on the portal prefill pintouts? (Including previous year deductions and occupation etc)
3 votesThanks so much for raising this and explaining how you’re using the ATO prefill data. We’ve logged your feedback and will move it into our Gaining Support process so the product team can consider it alongside other work. At this stage there are no planned changes to how Xero imports Medicare and ATO prefill data, but your input is really valuable in helping us understand where improvements would add the most value..

AU Tax - Automatically exclude Superannuation Taxed Elements for clients aged 60+
Xero Tax makes no attempt to look at the age of the recipient of superannuation annuities. Taxed Elements for individuals over 60 years of age are meant to be excluded from the tax return. The ATO does this automatically - Xero Tax does not. It is not a feature request, this is an error in the software that needs rectifying.
2 votesThanks Chris for the feedback. We hear that reviewing and adjusting superannuation components based on age can add extra steps during the return process.
Incorporating age-based logic for Superannuation Taxed Elements may help reduce manual handling and support more streamlined preparation workflows. This has been moved to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest and share it with the product team.

Practice tools | Tax Statements & Payments - Indicator for roll forward notes
For notes made in Tax Payments: these need to be split into 2 areas, (1) notes pertaining to that provisional installment and, (2) notes that will continue to roll forward.
It is crucial that even if the installment date has passed, the notes are still visible. Also from the main Tax Payments screen we need an indicator on the client row to show that the client has an active note (with the ability to archive a note as well).

Show all activity statements for a job in the information tab, not just the unlodged ones
Since the change to the partner hub, this has disappeared.
I cannot be the only one who accessed activity statements from the job and not the tax returns tab?
They disappear into the tax return tab abyss now.

vehicle Log Book to automatically proportion vehicle expenses
To have the ability to record odometer readings, start, finish & business/private use.
Then automatically apportion the business use component against vehicle expenses.For instance the Australian rules require 12 weeks minimum of logbook entries. More entries = more accuracy.
This could also be a great feature to 'sell' XERO to new customers.

Xero Tax UK - management expenses support
Xero Tax no longer supports management expenses (eg for investment companies), which are a common requirement. This used to work fine. The workaround recommended by Xero Support is to incorrectly include management expenses as operating / trading expenses, then make them disallowable and include them separately as a management expense. This mess is all visible on the CT600 and needs fixing.

Xero Tax AU - Scheduled tax emails
Can XPM/Xero tax add a scheduled send feature? So that we can schedule tax returns/BAS returns to be sent at a set time and day to the client for signing? Content snare, Outlook etc all have these features and its very much missing from XPM.

UK Tax - Ability to run per tracking category for sole trader accounts
We have set up tracking categories in xero - one for Land & property and one for Self employment. I want to be able to import the data in to their tax return. I normally generate on xero tax the xero sole trader accounts to then be able to import these into the tax return. However, when i do the sole trader accounts, it pull through all information - L&P & SE. I only want the SE bit so i can add this to the SE section on the tax return. I have asked xero support if there is a…

UK tax - Ability to split debtors due for longer than 12 months
Xero Tax currently doesn't have the functionality to separately display non-current assets and current assets as distinct sections on the face of the balance sheet. The software is presenting all debtors (including the deferred tax asset) under the current assets section, with the split between current and non-current amounts shown only in the notes.
Whilst FRS 102:4.4A states that in most cases it's sufficient to disclose amounts due after more than one year in the notes, in our recent case we identified that we had a material item that requires separate disclosure on the face of the balance sheet to…
