Centralised user management for Apps/Add-ins.
We need a centralised user management solution for add-ins/apps. What is in place now is too unwieldy once you have more than a few clients. Apps are an important part of the Xero proposition and add tremendous value to the platform. The solution would allow clients and practices to manage users across Xero and the apps enrolled for, which would save significant amounts of time and be much more efficient than what is in place right now i.e. having to set-up users indivdually in each app.

Practice manager - Relationship flow between shareholders and beneficiary
Relationships: Adding the correct group structure while distributions still being able to flow to the right tax entity
We have a company called Sample Company Pty Ltd. The shares of that company are held by Share Company Pty Ltd on behalf of Beneficiary Trust. We should be able to put in that Share Company Pty Ltd is a shareholder of Sample Company Pty Ltd but that the distribution flows through to the ultimate shareholder Beneficiary Trust. Right now, we have to put that Sample Company Pty Ltd has a shareholder Beneficiary Trust which is not actually correct. Xero currently has…

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.
6 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 (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…
1 voteThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you. We appreciate you highlighting the importance of having flexibility when filing within the acceptable Companies House range without amending the official year-end date.

Generate workpapers for the Practice Entity - link Practice org. to 'client'
Currently the practice entity Xero blue file cannot be linked to a 'client' within the client list under the practice. This means users are unable to generate a workpaper pack for the practice.
Our Practices need to be compliant too, if we are unable to use workpapers within the system, we have to find another solution for our workpapers
There needs to be the ability to link the practice organisation to an entity within the client list.

Xero AU Tax - Audit report of deleted returns
We would like to have an option for a Tax Return that has been deleted off the system to effectively sit in a recycle bin before it is immediately deleted off. Would also like to suggest having the ability to see a report for any such returns that are deleted off to see who has done it and the date.

Xero Tax (AU) - History report for client changes
To have a "history" tab on a client that would show when someone has made a change to something (an address, a phone number/client details) along with who would have archived a client on the system.
The history tab would be a great aspect for support hub team members so they can ask that person if there is an issue or to see a date and time that this has happened to then liase with the client.

XPH | Clients - Ability to collapse Relationships section
One thing that's particularly frustrating to me about the new UI is the non-collapsible view for relationships. We have clients that are part of big groups with lots of relationships, and it now looks very cluttered, and quite annoying when we have to scroll down.
Please restore the drop-down view (and change back to the smaller font too) 🙏

UK Tax - Prepare Corporation Tax for earlier periods
Currently Xero only allows you to prepare Corporation Tax returns for the current and previous period. Sometimes you will need to amend an earlier period's return, or create a return for a period that was missed previously for some reason.
These can't be filed online, and would need to go via post, but it would be great to be able to populate them within Xero rather than require handwriting them onto a print out and potentially transposing figures incorrectly.

Practice tools | Clients - Error message when client record fails to save
I've just spent too long going through the client record fields to figure out that the reason that the record wouldn't save was a duplicate client code. Before the update, XPM would pop up with something like "client code already in use" or "TFN not valid". Now, there's no message at all. Please restore the error messages!
Further, please restore the ability to update related client addresses all at once.

Reporting - Build Custom reports with no data limitation
It would be great to be able to create our own reports using any datas available in the system and not be restricted to the pre-existing one : my need is to mix some information from the payables with information from the third party card but I cannot do that directly in the solution I need to export both and do it in excel.

XPM - Show full client notes by default
Since the recent update in Nov/Dec 2025, client notes are collapsed when they exceed a few lines, which makes it too easy to miss important information. All the notes we add in XPM are all relevant, we don't want any to be hidden.
Previously, notes were fully visible by default. Restoring this behaviour would make critical information easier to see at a glance.
If notes must remain collapsible, an option to show the full note by default would be preferred. Alternatively, the “show more” prompt should be much more visually prominent so it is not overlooked.
Ideally, the collapsed view…

XPH - Add 'Practice Information' to the Main Menu Bar
Currently, Practice Information (which contains key firm-wide settings, addresses, and details) appears to be missing a direct link in the main navigation menu (the left-hand sidebar).
Issue: Users must navigate through multiple menus or settings screens to find and update core firm details.
Request: Please add a clear, direct menu item for Practice Information to the main vertical menu bar for easy and immediate access.
Implementing these changes would be a significant quality-of-life improvement for all XPM users. Thank you for considering this feature request!

XPM - Update default balance date to March for New Zealand clients
Since the recent XPM update in Nov/Dec 2025, the balance date for new clients is now auto-populating as January. For the majority of New Zealand clients, the balance date is March, so defaulting to January is not practical.
If the balance date is going to be auto-populated, it should default to March rather than January to better reflect common NZ reporting periods.

XPM - Allow editing existing contacts without requiring an email address
Since the recent XPM update in Nov/Dec 2025, it is no longer possible to edit an existing contact unless an email address is populated. An email address is now treated as a required field when editing, even if the contact previously existed without one.
Creating a new contact without an email address is still allowed, which makes this behaviour inconsistent. Being able to edit existing contacts without needing to add an email address would restore flexibility and better reflect real-world client contact records.

XPM - Remove pop-up label when hovering over client name
Since the recent update in Nov/Dec 2025, hovering over a client name on the XPM group screen shows a pop-up label that repeats the client name.
This pop-up does not provide any additional information and often gets in the way while navigating the screen. Removing it would improve usability and reduce unnecessary on-screen clutter.

XPM - Increase visibility of group name on group screen
Since the recent XPM update in Nov/Dec 2025, the group name is less prominent on the 'group' screen, and does not stand out as clearly as it did previously.
The larger group name made it easier to identify which screen you were on, which is especially important now that many screens have a similar layout. Increasing the prominence or size of the group name again would improve clarity and usability.
31 votesHi and thanks for sharing this idea!
It’s great to get such specific detail on how the visibility of group names impacts your workflow, especially when navigating between multiple screens in XPM.
I have moved this into our Gaining Support category.
This means other members of the community can now vote on your suggestion, which helps our product teams gauge interest and prioritise future UI refinements. We’ll keep a close eye on this one to see how much traction it gets. Thanks for helping us improve the XPM experience!
Kind regards
