UK Tax | Company - Liquidation & Cessation Accounts and CT Returns
Please add the functionality to set a cessation of trade date for a company in liquidation or in the insolvency process to allow for accounts and corporation tax returns to be produced from the last year end to the date of cessation of trade/insolvency.
This will enable Accountants to produce these closing accounts and CT returns from HMRC and so offer a one stop shop and earn more revenue.

XPM - Job format
It would be helpful if you could move the job information sections into any order (and this is default for all jobs & Clients). The main focus when we open a job is to review the tasks and these are way down the bottom. At the very least the default job information layout could be that all the sections are closed and you can open the section you want without have to scroll down all the time.
1 voteHi Sally, thanks for sharing your thoughts on the job layout in Xero Practice Manager. We appreciate you explaining how quick access to task information is for your workflow. We're updating this idea to In discovery, which means our product team is reviewing the viability of your suggestion and exploring whether we could implement changes to the job format that better support your needs. We'll keep you posted as we learn more.

Xero HQ - Include full client data (UK)
Extend the information in Xero HQ to include full client data.
Information that would be good to see on each client information schedule would be;a. VAT registration date, this is required for security with HRMC so needs to be in one place when contacting them.
b. VAT quarters (We do have clients that don’t use xero and this information is important)
c. PAYE registration details (Not all clients use Xero payroll and equally flicking between various clients bookkeeping systems when on the phone to HMRC is a bit irritating!)
d. UTR details for companies
e. Tax district for Both…2 votesThanks for sharing your idea for additional fields to show on Xero HQ.

Xero Tax - Title in uppercase
Currently the Client Title on a printed or downloaded tax return shows in all uppercase even though the fields in XPM & Tax are proper case. Would like this to be an option to choose so that the text is consistent eg either all uppercase or proper case.

Xero Tax AU - Thin Capitalisation Reminder
If interest expense in Item 6 is over $2M, Xero Tax should remind preparers to consider thin capitalisation rules.
Reduces risk of oversight on large returns.

Request to Enable Proposal and Estimate Sync from XPM to Xero Accounting
I’m reaching out to request assistance regarding a feature enhancement for Xero Practice Manager (XPM). Currently, XPM allows invoices to be pushed seamlessly to Xero Accounting (blue), which is incredibly helpful. However, I’ve noticed that proposals and estimates created in XPM cannot be pushed to Xero Accounting in the same way.
I would like to request that XPM be enhanced to support the ability to push proposals and estimates directly to Xero Accounting. This functionality would allow clients to take advantage of Xero blue’s interactive features—particularly the ability for clients to simply click a button to mark a proposal as…
2 votesAppreciate you attaching a screenshot to demonstrate your flow here, Badi. Just wanted to check as this is a public forum there's nothing sensitive in this that you wouldn't want others to see?
Can understand why you'd like to enhance the sync of information and save time in adding these manually in Xero blue.
Not something we have immediate plans of but we'll start collecting community interest for this through your idea and update if there are any plans made.

Put hyperlnks back in jobs
Previously when a job was created in XPM from ignition, a hyperlink was created to the proposal inside the XPM job. We always click this to access the proposal and issue the invoice when finalsing. This link is now converted to plain text which requires either copying and pasting or opening ignition and manually browsing to the proposal.
Would be great to have this functionality restored.1 voteHi Tina, thanks for confirming that you are looking at the new Partner Hub experience with this Idea.We really appreciate your feedback around this previous functionality and we have moved this Idea to Gaining Support. Make sure you share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit so they can add their vote too! Our Product team will be looking at these Ideas closely.

Workpapers - Auto calculate Interest Accruals
It would be great if Xero recognised Bank term deposits or Pie deposits, and could record the interest rate, compounding periods, and calculate accruals to balance date.
4 votesHi Paul, thanks for sharing this idea. Being able to automatically calculate interest accruals on bank term deposits or PIE deposits within Workpapers would definitely help save time and improve accuracy across your clients.
This idea is now in the Gaining Support stage, which means it’s on the product team’s radar for further consideration. The votes and comments from the community will help show how valuable this feature is to the wider Xero community and assist in shaping future updates.
We’ll keep you informed here as soon as we have any news.

Option for 'Other allowable expenses' in the tax comp to allow the depreciation on assets purchased as a finance lease as capital allowances are not reclaimable but depreciation can be deducted.

AU Xero Tax - Distribution to Beneficiaries with manually updated names flow
We have some companies and trusts with characters such as hyphens in their legal names. However, Xero Tax does not allow us to distribute directly to these entities due to these characters in their names.
Our current work around is entering the beneficiaries' details manually, but then the distribution does not flow directly to the beneficiaries' returns.
I think this may be a ATO limitation. However, in other tax programs I have used, I was able to use an alternate name so the distribution could still be directly linked to the beneficiaries return. I would like a similar feature in…
1 vote✨ Hi Chloe — thanks for taking the time to share this idea.We appreciate the practical suggestion to support an alternate name approach while keeping the correct legal name on file. We have moved this Idea to Gaining Support so we can gauge customer sentiment across AU Xero Tax and connected areas.
Please keep the conversation going and encourage colleagues to add context, this helps us prioritise the right improvements for partners and practices.

BAS Installment Activity Statement - ability to unlock and load, and complete before due date for selected clients
Ability to complete activity statements before the end of quarter, or at least be able to unlock and load IAS's of select clients that we know have zero balances to submit.
1 voteHi Tania, thanks for sharing this idea. We appreciate you explaining how early submission of activity statements could streamline your workflow, especially for clients with zero balances. As you know, at the moment, Xero only supports lodging activity statements for the periods as they’re issued by the ATO, and we process statements in order to align with those obligations. This approach follows ATO-provided due dates and period availability, which are fixed by the ATO and surfaced in Xero to help you stay compliant. This idea has been moved to not in Pipeline as this is not something we are looking at currently. The Idea will be open for votes though and we will keep monitoring it. Thanks again for taking the time to share your suggestion with us and the community.

Secretarial Functionality - Beneficial Ownership
Put all CIPC related applications in a separate secretarial Application. Beneficial Ownership has nothing to do with Tax, and I don't do tax so can't use Gatekeeper but I advertise Beneficial Ownership a lot and use a good, priced Beneficial Ownership submission to get my foot in the door and then try sell the client on Xero. You could also look at submitting Annual Returns to CIPC out of Xero as you have the clients Company registration number as well as their turnover.
1 voteHi John, thanks for bringing this idea to us. We appreciate the explanation of how beneficial ownership submissions fit into your business approach. However, this suggestion and it's now marked as Not in pipeline, which means it isn't on the foreseeable roadmap at this time. We'll keep this idea open for votes so we can continue to gauge community interest. Thanks again for contributing to the conversation 🙏.

Ability to generate a detailed Profit and Loss and Balance Sheet in the Statutory accounts for micro entities.
2 votesWe're thankful for you sharing the changes that could make using Xero Tax more impactful for you and your clients, Doina.
As you've mentioned 2 separate reports I've split your idea so we can get an understanding of the community interest in each and keep you updated if there are any plans made.
I've renamed this one specifically for a detailed Balance Sheet and you'll find another for a detailed Profit & Loss over here.

Practice Manager - Popup showing key client information
I propose introducing a pre-profile pop-up in Xero XPM to provide immediate access to critical client information, including linked contacts, billing references, and direct hyperlinks to individual contacts. This feature would also allow for the configuration of custom reminders, ensuring that key client details and actionable prompts are prominently displayed to enhance staff efficiency and client service.
1 voteHi 👋 your idea is being looked into by our Community team. We'll be in touch soon to update you once your idea has been reviewed.

Partner Program - Suggestion for reinstating local monthly Partner networking calls
When I started with Xero, we had a lovely monthly Zoom call with local Xero Accounting & Bookkeeping Partner Practices. Topics would be presented, but also we would exchange ideas for best use practices and workarounds and how to leverage Xero tools. We could discuss troubleshooting and compliance, etc. It was a great way as a business owner to network with other Xero-focused practices in my area, support one another, and share information. It would be great to see these come back one day!
1 voteThanks for submitting your idea and letting us know what changes you want to see!
Your suggestion is now published and open for community support. To help push this forward, please share the idea with colleagues who could benefit—we need their votes!

UK | Company Tax - Access lost to all Xero tax reports if Xero sub cancelled
We've just found out to our horror that we lose access to ALL Xero historic accounts and tax filings prepared and submitted through Xero Tax for a client if the Xero sub is cancelled.
Apparently this is because Xero needs to maintain access to the live data even for filed returns. Therefore, there has to be a process where ALL accounts and tax comps must be downloaded and stored elsewhere each year. We think that's crazy and that all filed returns should be stored in Xero Tax as PDFs. If nothing else, there should be a flag warning us! This…11 votesHi everyone, appreciate raising this with us.
Our product team has confirmed that these records are not deleted when an organisation is deleted, but they're moved into a hidden state. We're looking into how we can improve the storing of these within Xero HQ in future. If you need help with this in the meantime please contact our Xero support team via Xero Central.

Practice Manager - Draft Invoice Review
Would like the ability to see Write-ons / Write-offs on the Invoices dashboard for Draft invoices to allow easier review of drafts.
Alternatively some form of reporting that takes draft invoices into account vs billable time to see 'draft write-ons/offs'.

XPM - Bulk delete jobs
I learned the hard way after bulk importing 1,700 jobs on the wrong template that you could not delete those imported jobs in bulk. I spent 4 hours individually opening each job from a report and deleting.
It would be great to use job manager to be able to select jobs (assuming they haven't got any time, costs or invoices associated with them) and delete.
