AU Tax - Bulk selection and status updates
Returns Management User Interface (UI) - "All" Tab Improvements/Customization
To improve handling returns by adding bulk selection and status update functionalities on the "All" tab of the Returns Management interface. Also, suggesting having a customizable UI to best fit our workflow preference.
Key Features:
Action Buttons
- Located in the table header, these buttons perform bulk actions such as "Approved", "Out to Sign", and "Sign". They remain disabled unless one or more return items are selected.Checkbox
- Each return item has an associated checkbox to allow selection. By default, these checkboxes are unchecked.Select All / Deselect All
-…41 votesHi everyone, appreciate the interest this idea is growing, however reviewing this post there are a few ideas wrapped up in the one and it'd be good for us to untie this to understand the needs and interest in each separately.
As currently designed, there are dedicated state tabs e.g Draft, Completed Approved etc from which you can select all and perform bulk actions. This also provides a total of the items selected in the list header.
Bulk actions are generally relevant to the state a return is in - For example being able to Approve is only relevant to returns currently in a Draft state.
It'd be good to get more feedback of your workflow here and why you'd be wanting to perform these bulk actions from the All tab rather than the dedicated state tab?
I've created a couple of new ideas to track the interest in being…

Ability to generate a detailed Profit and Loss and Balance Sheet in the Statutory accounts for micro entities.

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.
6 votesThanks for sharing this idea, I can see how you'd like to get more control over them, such as removing them for clients where it isn't relevant.
We've reviewed this, and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it.
You might like to share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit, so they can add their votes and comments too!

UK Tax | Jobs - Automatically link tax return created from a job
When a tax return is created from a job you need to manually link this to the job once the tax obligation is created. It would be good if this automatically linked to the job like AU and NZ
2 votesHi team, we appreciate this idea being raised with us and would like to gauge interest from the community for auto linking a return that's created form a Job.
Please add your vote if this is something you'd like to see too!

Practice Manager | Jobs - Search for client when creating a job
When creating a new job the client drop down list can be quite long. it would be good to have the ability to search for the client name instead of selecting from a dropdown menu.
9 votesHi everyone, we’ve created this idea based on feedback we’ve heard from the community.
We know how important it is to be able to instantly search for a client when creating a job in Xero Practice Manager. Manually scrolling through a long drop-down list can be time-consuming, especially for practices with a large client base.
Adding a search function here would make the process faster and more efficient, helping you get straight to work.
This idea is now in the Gaining Support stage. Your votes and comments help us understand how valuable this feature is to the wider Xero community and support future development decisions.

Practice Manager | Jobs - Warning when completing/closing job with active tax return
Job with live Tax Record – it would be good to receive a warning when completing (or cancelled) a job that has a live tax filing
1 voteHi community, we’ve created this idea based on feedback we’ve heard, to help improve your workflow in Xero Practice Manager.
The suggestion is to add a safeguard that prevents jobs from being closed when they’re still linked to an active tax return. We believe this would help reduce errors and support smoother compliance processes.
This idea is now in the Gaining Support stage. Your votes and comments will help us understand how valuable this feature is to the wider community and guide future improvements. We’ll keep you updated here as things progress.

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.

Xero HQ - Show totals for client list in Client Insights
Client Insights is fantastic for showing client by client stats.
How about providing a TOTAL for the entire client list or filtered list, so that you can see how each client compares to the selected "community" of clients2 votesHi Steven, thanks so much for the kind words about Client Insights – it's great to hear you're finding it fantastic!
We've reviewed your suggestion to enhance it further by showing a total for the client list or a filtered group. We can see how this would provide valuable context, allowing you to easily benchmark how an individual client compares to the rest of the community.
Your idea is now ready to gain support from other community members. Along with votes, others can now comment to share how they would use this summary data for analysis and advising their own clients.

Customer payment with stripe not linked to invoice number. Unable to identify customer payment related to invoice for reconciliation.

AU Tax - Ability to lodge FBT return for clubs & society structures
FBT Returns - I have been informed by Xero Support that FBT Returns can only be created for the following structure types:
Individual
Company
Trust
Partnership
Self Managed Superannuation FundNoting that individuals, partnerships and SMSF do not require FBT Returns it seems more prudent to make them available for the club and society structures who actually my have FBT to lodge.
8 votesThanks for sharing your idea and letting us know exactly what changes would make the biggest difference for you!
We've reviewed your suggestion, and now it's up to the community to get behind it. Please share your idea with any colleagues who would also benefit so they can add their vote and comments.

AU Tax - Change default to 'Yes' for transfer capital gains to tax return on Managed Fund Schedule
On Managed Fund Schedule can the transfer capital gains to tax return default to "yes" instead of "no" ?
9 votesHi Lucy, thanks for sharing this specific feedback about our AU Tax module. We know that small adjustments to default settings can often make a big difference in streamlining a workflow.
We've reviewed your suggestion to change the default option to 'Yes' for transferring capital gains to the tax return on the Managed Fund Schedule. Your idea is now ready to gain support and feedback from other tax preparers in the community.

NZ Tax | AIM - View mapped accounts
When drafting AIM reports in XPM, it would be helpful if you could hover over the box number and it lists the accounts that are being mapped there as opposed to changing report codes in blue Xero and continually having to update the AIM report to see if accounts are mapping correctly.
3 votesAppreciate you raising this idea, Amy We've gone through your suggestion and taken a closer look at how things currently work.
Right now, there isn't a built-in way to quickly view which accounts are linked to each AIM report box directly within the report. Based on your description, we understand how this would simplify the review process and reduce unnecessary steps when updating report codes.
We’ve moved your idea to Gaining Support, which means others can now vote and add their perspective. That input really helps when our product teams are looking at what improvements to prioritise.

UK Tax | Partnership tax - SA801
Please add SA801 Property Income Pages to the Partnership Tax as we have a few partnerships with rental income.
7 votesHi all, thanks for sharing your feedback on this as an idea. Our team are currently working on developing SA801 Property Income pages within Xero Tax(UK). I'll be back to confirm once this available, here. 🙂

Clients - Warning when creating client record with same TFN as archived client
When creating a new client the duplicate TFN warning should also apply to Archived clients.
93 votesHi everyone, we appreciate how quickly this idea has picked up traction from the community here.
As you've likely heard through other communications we're in the midst of rolling out a unified Client experience as part of our wider Xero Partner Hub.
With the new Client experience you can now;
- Create a client without a TFN, as the Create Client flow has been updated to capture only the basic details
- The TFN can be added later by clicking Edit once the client is created.
- If you do try add a TFN that already exists on an archived client, an error message is displayed - you can get a view of what this looks like in my attachment
Thanks again for sharing with us here and I'll be back to confirm when this new experience is live to all practices.

Practice Manager | Onboarding - Companies house sync
Companies House sync - Client Onboarding
Would like to see a Companies House sync for this. Our current PM system has this facility and it saves so much time (and is accurate). Also used as a check when submitting annual CS01 forms. We are considering moving to XPM and this would seal the deal
5 votesHey Kath, thanks for sharing your idea with us. We’ve had a proper look at it and just wanted to give you an update.
We’ve marked this idea as Gaining Support, which means it’s now open for others to view, vote on, and add their thoughts. The more interest it gets, the more it helps our product team see the value and consider it for future updates. Really appreciate you taking the time to contribute.

XPM - Time cost per entry when reviewing task postings
When invoicing in XPM and choosing the task postings options Yes/No/Future, can you add a column for the cost (not just time and rate) so we can judge what to invoice and how much for.
1 voteHi Emily, thanks for sharing this fantastic suggestion for improving the invoicing workflow in XPM. We can see how having more direct visibility of costs would make billing decisions much easier.
We've reviewed your idea to add a calculated 'Cost' column on the screen when reviewing task postings to be invoiced. We understand this would help you better judge what to invoice and how much for at a glance.
Your suggestion is now ready to gain support and feedback from others in the community. Along with votes, other users can now share how having this cost visibility would impact their own billing and WIP management processes.

XPM - More user friendly client & date selection
When running reports, posting timesheets etc, it would be good for the client search function to search the entire name, rather than requiring exact input. Similarly, the ability to type a date in any format (e.g. DD/MM/YY), rather than being exact or using the calendar icon.
1 voteHi Emily, thanks for sharing this feedback on how we can make everyday tasks in XPM more user-friendly. We know that improvements to common fields like search and date entry can make a big difference to overall efficiency.
We've reviewed your suggestions for making the client search function more flexible so it searches the entire name, and for allowing dates to be typed in various formats. We can see how these changes would streamline tasks like running reports and posting timesheets.
Your idea is now ready to gain support and feedback from other members of our practice community. Along with votes, others can now share how these kinds of usability improvements to client search and date selection would help streamline their own daily workflows.

Practice Manager | Jobs - Ability to change information sections
Would it be possible to close sections of the job that you don't use and these stay as default. (Information Tax - job details, custom fields etc.) This would make it easier to see the sections you do use. It would also be useful if you would put them in the order you prefer.
For example to me the most important section is tasks and these are quite low down the list. I would like this to be a default setting.
1 voteHi Sally, thanks for your suggestion. Good to hear how we could improve Jobs for your experience. Make sure you share this with any colleagues that could benefit from this too, so they can add their vote!
Along with votes, other members can comment to share additional detail about how your idea could improve their experience with Xero, too.

Practice Manager - Milestones option to view at the top.
Since the XPM update (April 2025) milestones in XPM are now at the bottom of jobs. They should be at the top of the job (as they were previously) so that they are one of the first things we see on a job. We use milestones to remind us of important filing dates so relegating this to the bottom of jobs requires too much scrolling and is very frustrating.
