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.

NZ Tax - Customise declaration
It would be good to be able to customise the Declaration that is just above the signing line in the Tax Returns. The default wording is quite broad, and it we would prefer to be able to customise it to reduce our risk. Clients are not always truthful in reporting all income, and we need to protect ourselves.
4 votesThanks for sharing this idea with the community. We can understand why being able to add specific wording to the client declaration would be useful.
This idea is open for voting and comments from the community, and we'll be keeping an eye on its progress to gauge interest.
In the meantime, while it's not possible to edit the declaration on the return itself, you can add your own custom text and disclaimers to a cover letter that you send with the tax return. This might help you manage the risk you mentioned.
You can learn how to create your own templates for this here: Customise the cover letter for a tax return.

NZ Tax - Auto apply correct tax rate for Trust if over threshold
When preparing 2025 financial statements in Xero, will Xero be implementing a system to allow for varying tax rates for Trust's?
For example, 2024 Trustee tax rate at 33%, however the 2025 Trustee tax rate may be 39% or 33% depending on the Trustee Income, and if it is under $10,000.
It would be great if Xero were to implement a system to allow for this.Otherwise, a manual work around will be required, which could create human error.
I'm sure all tax practitioners across the country are hoping for an update from Xero.

UK Personal Tax | Include top slicing relief on schedules of data
Please can you include the workings (which are long and complicated) for top slicing relief on an insurance bond gain in the "schedule of data" report which I find to be very basic compared to what my previous tax software provider included. Otherwise it is fiddly and time consuming to check this manually.
1 voteThanks for your feedback and sharing with us through the idea here, Zoë.
It'll be good to get a gauge of the community support through your idea here. We don't have any plans for adding top slicing relief on an insurance bond gain atm, but we'll share if there are any changes for this made.

AU Tax - Improve the validation error experience
I had a validation error CMN.ATO.DISTBENTRT.000013 generated in an SMSF tax return.
When I clicked on the validation error it took me to a specific trust income schedule (number 10 of 18), which had several fields highlighted. The error says that there must be a number in any of the fields A B D U and so on - this schedule met this condition.
After much wasted time trying to re-enter fields, checking there were no blank spaces, deleting and re-entering all fields, deleting and re-entering the whole schedule, I contacted support.
It turns out the error was actually generated…29 votesHi Vicki, we're grateful for your detailed suggestion of how to improve the validation error linking and highlighting experience in AU Tax.
We'll continue to monitor the level of support this idea receives from the community. Thanks again for your contribution.

Xero Tax - Allow manual allocation of R&D expenditure for long accounting periods
When inputting R&D figures for a period of account longer than 12 months (i.e. where 2x corporation tax returns are needed), we are unable to put specific R&D expenditures in a specific corporation tax periods. This is an issue with overseas workers where the periods are pre and post 1 April 2024, and where expenditure is only eligible in one of the periods. As currently, the expenditure is pro-rated, this means that non-qualifying expenditure is being brought into one of the periods.
Is it possible to create a feature which allows for the expenditure to be split correctly between the…

Document Packs - ability to add invoice from Xero business edition directly to document pack
Ability to export an invoice created in Xero business edition to a document pack.
For example, if I prepare a BAS or tax return for a client and send it to them in a document pack along with my invoice, I have to export the invoice from Xero and save it, and then add it to the document pack.
It would be beneficial if there was an option in the invoice screen to add the invoice to a document pack, similar to adding a completed tax return from Xero Tax to a document pack.
3 votesHi Rebecca, thanks for taking the time to share your idea for adding an invoice directly into a Document Pack. We can see how this would streamline the process and save valuable time, removing the manual steps of downloading and re-uploading invoices when sending documents to your clients.
Our Community team has reviewed your idea, and it can now gain support from other community members.

Practice Manager - Ability to associate a CURNN from a Job to multiple clients
see CX0015898344
I was told that when you create a job for client A, you can only create CURNN for client A.We are unable to make CURNN for client A's association - such as their spouse, their business (company, trust, partnership, etc) or any client in client A's group.
To do a CURNN for client A's spouse, i would have to create a job for the spouse then create the CURNN.
1 voteThanks for your feedback here, Christopher. Appreciate you have also shared detail around this with our specialists at Xero Support, however just highlighting that ideas in the forums here are for the community to support any detail you can provide through the idea directly here will also help other community members understand and support your ideas.
We don't have any immediate changes around this planned, for now you'll want to add a New CURNN to each individual client. We'll continue to keep an eye on the community support for this here,.

XPM New Email from Job
If you send an email from the XPM Job it automatically adds the details as per the "name" field of the job as the subject in the email.
Please add the name of the client after the insertion of the "job name" field of the job in the subject.
If I do have a client with multiple entities, it can be confusing for the client as he does not know for which entity the mail is - he only sees the job number and the job description. If you look in history of your mails you can then also search…1 vote -

Xero HQ | Clients - Industry Classification Report
We would love a client report showing the Industry as it is in the Xero Organisation Settings.
Currently the report gives the Main Industry classification but not the Sub Category.
For Example the HQ report would show a company industry is Construction but actually the company provides Electrical Services and there is no report to get this detail of all the clients.

Clients search - Business Name/Previous Entity Name Search Capability
Hi,
It would be nice if the software could search by a entity's registered business names or previously know entity names and it bring up the current company file.
We are able to add previous names or business names to the custom fields under a company's profile, but unless you know all the names by memory it can be hard to match up clients when you receive correspondence address to the business name and no ABN is mentioned.
Currently when this occurs we have to either search ABN lookup or ASIC register and trying to get relevant information we can…
17 votesHi community, thanks for sharing your interest through this idea. We recently announced the Xero Partner Hub at Xerocon. It encompasses many improvements for our partners to be able to move more efficiently and serve clients. One of the changes that accommodates part of the idea here is that you'll be able to search the Client list by a clients organisation name, or legal/trading name as mentioned on this related idea.
We appreciate there may be some practices using custom fields for this data and we want to be open that custom fields will not be searchable from the Client list. We have another idea for searching custom fields that you can join and follow for updates. You can find out more about Xero Partner Hub from our website.

XPM - Hubspot Integration
Xero Practice Manager integrated nicely with Hubspot for about 10 years. Quitely it's been killed off in 2024 for some reason.
XPM is a major practice management platform, and Hubspot is a major CRM. I don't know why Xero would kill off the integration. But as a practice we need to have the ability to easily market/email etc to our client database. Without an integration in 2025 this is crazy.
The development work would be minimal considering it was already working, and even working with the single client record.
So please turn the integration back on for your partners.
