XPH - Add field for Trustees IRD number in Trusts Additional Contact
Client Information - Trusts - Additional Contacts - as we now have to have all Trustees IRD numbers for Trust tax returns, would it be possible to please add a line for Trustees IRD numbers in addtional conatcts?
2 votesHey Lynette 🙂
Thanks for sharing this idea — I can see why having a field for Trustees’ IRD numbers under Additional Contacts would be helpful when preparing trust tax returns, especially now that all trustees’ IRD numbers are required.
We’re moving this idea to Gaining Support so we can better understand how many practices would benefit from this and the different workflows involved.
Now all that's needed is to share the Idea with your colleagues and friends so they can Vote and Comment!

AU Tax - Ability to share Rental Property Schedules
The fact that it's so hard to get a rental property schedule to share from one return to the selected second client is very very very very annoying. If there were a button we could press to manually ask it to share across that would save endless saving, closing, opening, closing the whole program, turning off your computer and leaving my desk in frustration.

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…
3 votesThanks for sharing this idea. We appreciate you explaining how filtering sole trader account data by tracking category could support your tax preparation workflow.
As you've mentioned, tracking categories will be utilised to support multiple businesses for MTD for IT, however this isn't available with Xero Tax for sole trader accounts preparation.

Job Manager - Bulk Update suggested Notification Process
Incorrect Bulk Update and Suggested Notification Process
Example Scenario:
On Job Manager, a staff member accidentally selected all active jobs and changed their status from “In Progress” to “Completed” using the bulk update feature.
Impact:Over 150 jobs were marked as completed.
Workflow visibility was disrupted, and deadlines were missed because jobs disappeared from active lists.Root Cause:
Bulk update permissions were too broad.
No audit trail or alert triggered when job states changed.Recommended Controls:
Trigger Email Notifications for Job Status Changes/Setting up email alerts
Detecting incorrect bulk updates
Reverting changes quickly Options
Require confirmation before applying changes to…3 votesThanks for sharing this idea with us. We appreciate you outlining how safeguards around bulk updates could help teams manage workflows in XPM.
This idea is now in Gaining support status, meaning the community team have reviewed it and it's open for community support through votes and comments. We encourage others who'd find this helpful to add their votes and share their experiences.
In the meantime, it is worth noting that a custom job notification for job state change could be created in your XPM account if you haven't done so already.

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…
1 voteThanks for raising with us here, Nyima.
Appreciate the need you've shared on being able to show a material item separately on the face of the balance sheet.
It'd be good for us to get a better capture the impact this has for other practices here. For yourself and others coming across the idea, it would be great to hear further examples of any compliance or presentation needs you have in this feature, particularly where material items need separate face-of-balance-sheet disclosure rather than note-only disclosure. If there's any plans made around this we will share here.

Invoice Branding - Ability to Set Payment Terms and Payment Methods at Contact Level
Overview:
Currently, in Xero, the branding theme determines the payment terms and payment method for invoices and bills. While this approach works for general branding purposes, it limits flexibility when managing diverse customer or supplier requirements.Problem Statement:
Many businesses have contacts with unique payment arrangements that do not align with a single branding theme. For example:Certain customers may require extended payment terms (e.g., 60 days) while others operate on shorter cycles (e.g., 30 days).
Suppliers may prefer specific payment methods (e.g., EFT, credit card) that differ from the default settings.Relying solely on branding themes for these settings…
3 votesHi Meehgan thanks for sharing this idea here. Appreciate having the need to have different payment terms for different contacts. While this is not an existing option in Xero, we are adding your idea to gaining support so that other members from the community are also able to add their comments and vote on this. :)

Xero Ask - a universal login link for ask queries
If my client is tech challenged and cannot figure out how to follow a signature request link from your emails, I send them the link to https://portal.xero.com/ and they can usually manage it from there. This appears to work for document packs too.
Can we please have a similar universal login link for ask queries?

Keyboard Shortcuts - Restore the ability to open new tab with CTRL + click.
Please restore the ability to open XPM search results in a new tab using Ctrl + click.
I regularly use the search button in the top right of XPM to look up client names. While right-clicking still allows links to be opened in a new tab, Ctrl + click no longer works.
Ctrl + click is a much faster and more natural workflow, especially when moving through multiple clients, so losing this functionality has reduced efficiency. It would be great to have this reinstated.
1 voteThanks for taking the time to share this feedback with us 💡 We understand how important quick navigation is when you're working through multiple clients in XPM, and can see why losing Ctrl + click would interrupt a workflow that previously felt faster and more natural.
Even though right-clicking still provides a way to open links in a new tab, we appreciate that this adds extra steps and slows things down when you're moving between client records regularly. Small changes like this can have a real impact when they're part of an action you rely on throughout the day.
We've moved your idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest and better understand how many practices are affected by this change. Thanks again for taking the time to explain the impact so clearly — feedback like this helps give our team better context around the workflows that matter…

Practice Manager - Add new WIP to an existing invoice
In other accounting management software, you can allocate WIP to a previously posted invoice. This is a really handy feature which prevents WIP being written off if a job has already been invoiced and no further invoices will be raised.
It helps with budgeting and KPI's (preventing WIP writeoff).
There are enough times when it has been needed, e.g. after a job has been completed and invoiced, and new information comes to light requiring a re-work.25 votes -
AU Tax - CGT Event Summary Report
Competitor software provides a summary of the CGT events from a tax return in a 'line-per-transaction' view that's easy for clients to view and understand. This is lacking since switching to Xero Tax.
1 voteHi Alex , we appreciate your feedback on how a dedicated CGT Event Summary report could make it easier to review and reconcile complex capital gains activity during tax prep.
Having a single report to view CGT events and supporting calculations could help reduce the need to work across multiple schedules and asset records. We’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can track interest and share the feedback with our product teams.

Xero Tax (UK) - Option to change filings dates
Our understanding is that it should not be necessary to amend the year-end date at Companies House in order to file an accounting period that falls within −7/+7 days of the year end, as doing so would constitute an extension of the accounting period, which we would prefer to avoid.
At present, Xero does not support this scenario, nor does it offer an alternative recommended approach. It would therefore be helpful if Xero could address this limitation.
The only workaround we can see available is to change the year-end date to the 30th or 31st where it is not already…

Looking for a report that identifies clients who have registered for GST or PAYG with the ATO but have not lodged any Activity Statements (AS). This needs to be linked to the ATO. (some of these clients are new to needing to complete AS).

Xero HQ | Insights - Ability to filter by client group
Please include in the Insights tab the ability to filter by client group.
10 votesHi everyone, thank you for contributing to this idea. We understand how useful it would be to filter the Insights dashboard by client groups in Xero HQ. Right now, you can filter the main Clients list by custom groups, but the Insights dashboard doesn’t support this filter just yet.
The exciting news is that we’re currently working on the Xero Partner Hub, which includes exploring ways to enhance reporting and insights tools. You can find out more about what’s coming on our Blog.
This idea is now in the Gaining Support stage. Your votes and comments play a big part in helping us understand how important this is to the broader Xero community and shape future product conversations. We’ll keep you posted here as more details come through!

AU Tax- Ability to pull due date from ATO
Prefill - when we prefill a return from the ATO it brings in lots of information but doesn't update the due date for lodgement. The date currently appears to prefill from client details.
Can we please have Prefill bring in the ATO due date for the return?
4 votesHi Vicki, thanks for sharing this idea. We can see why this may be helpful for some users. Currently, you can import an 'Income tax lodgment status report' from ATO online services to bulk update the current tax returns due dates in the client details, but for now Xero does not pull this information from the ATO. We've moved this idea to gaining support and we'll monitor the idea for more support.

New FRS102 and FRS105 changes (income recognition and leasing)
Development of new functionality to meet the new FRS 102/105 requirements following from the FRC Periodic Review. Key changes are around income recognition to be based on delivery (known as the 5-step model), and an on-balance sheet treatment for operating leases.
These requirements apply to accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2026,
For the income recognition, the functionality would ideally be embedded in invoicing (and potentially products and services), and this would lead to the correct bookkeeping including disaggregation and recognition of income on delivery, as well as contract debtors and creditors. This new requirement applies to all…

Xero Tax (UK) | For CT600 box 326 to be left blank but be a compulsory field
I think to reduce the risk of associated companies not being included in the CT600 in error box 326 should be left blank by Xero but compulsory so that that the return can not be generated without it.
The same warning you get if trying to complete without boxes 975.7 votesThanks, Gemma, for sharing your idea! We've reviewed it, and it's now live for the community to support. Other Xero users can now vote and comment on how it would improve their Xero experience.

Company Accounts (UK) | Final Review Process
When using the new Xero Beta FRS102 IA module based in Xero blue, You can lock the accounts to be sent for signature. But this is not reflected in the Xero Company accounts and tax module on Xero HQ, where the lists of what has and hasn't been done for workflow is kept. It seems to continue to show in progress in the status bar as well. This is important for maintaining Audit trails of who does the review and when things can be sent out.
The final review on the CT600 is still there.1 voteThank you for raising the idea Francisca. We are still exploring the idea of introducing a review process directly within Company Accounts. However, we do plan to display much more about which team member has performed certain actions and when though to create a more visible audit trail throughout the product.
We have moved this Idea to Gaining Support so others can vote and comment and we can gauge the community interest.

Xero HQ fixed assets - Lookup to ATO Effective Life
In the Fixed Assets module, it would be helpful to have the option to link to the ATO's Effective Life tables when adding a new asset. This feature would allow users to search for the Effective Life of an asset. It should also be possible to overwrite this value, allowing you to input a different number of years if they choose to self-assess. Having access to the ATO's guidance would be extremely helpful.
