Business Activity Statement - Improve process of recording 100% GST on Imports
AU 100% GST on Imports - this function needs to be improved. It's 2025 and we are still required to do manual adjustments for GST on imports to get the correct result. It shouldn't be this difficult!
2 votesHi Ryu, thanks for sharing this idea here. Appreciate that you're wanting to see improvements in the way 100% GST on import is recorded in Xero. We've moved this idea to Gaining Support and now it's up to the community to get behind it. In the meantime, we'll monitor this idea for more traction.

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.

XPM (New experience) - Show full details of additional contacts on Client record
Enable full visibility of Contacts when accessing via Additional Contacts area in Client screen.
Currently, when we access a Contact via the Additional Contacts section of the Client screen, not all contact fields are displayed.
Furthermore, when editing or adding a new contact, we cannot edit or access all the contact details. We cannot add or edit Mobile numbers or custom fields for Contacts. To access these, we have to exit the Client screen and access Contacts separately via Clients > Contacts.
This adds a lot of extra steps that can be avoided by ensuring full visibility and full access…

Partner Hub - Ability to "group by" and "filter by" headers in Jobs widget
XPM shows your currently assigned jobs on the left, separated and grouped into the status of the job. This functionality is currently lost in the Partner Hub beta. It would be great to be able to "group by" status, in the jobs widget so provide some separation between different status jobs.
Would also be ideal to be able to "filter by" in a similar fashion, only showing jobs with a certain status for example.
Even better would be the ability to have multiple Jobs widgets - for example I would want a widget where that only shows jobs where I'm…

AU Tax - Single Login for Consolidated Client Signing History
Add functionality to merge client accounts used to access previously signed returns (via portal.xero.com). This would ensure that when a client updates their email address, their full record of signed tax returns remains intact and accessible through a single login with the new email. This eliminates the need to log in with multiple accounts to view the complete history of signed returns.
3 votesHi everyone, thanks for supporting this idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you. We can see why a consolidated history on signing would be useful.

UK Tax - Automate Company Number, UTR number and Companies House authorisation code
We enter company number, company UTR number, director name when setting up client but why does this not get processed when preparing the company accounts and tax. We need to enter the company number, Company UTR number, Companies House authorisation code and director signing the return every time we want to use XERO tax. Surely there must be a way to simplify this so entering this information every time is a thing of the past.

Xero AU Tax - Ability to prepare a future year tax return for a SMSF
We need the ability to prepare a future tax return for a SMSF as this is required to wind up a fund prior to year end. A trustee company can't be deregistered with the ASIC until a final tax return is lodged with the tax office so the time delay in preparing a future return impacts the client on annual company statements and costs associated with that as well.
The ability to prepare a future year return in Xero tax exists for other entity types but not SMSF's for some reason.

AU Tax - Hide account codes in imported COA in Xero Tax
When data is imported from Xero HQ or a client’s Xero ledger into Xero Tax, the system automatically appends the Chart of Accounts code to the account name e.g. “Sales (400), even when the underlying Chart of Accounts name field does not contain the code.
While this improves traceability, it creates unnecessary clutter in the tax return view and workpapers, especially where codes are not relevant for presentation to clients.
Users also cannot rename or hide the codes within the Xero Tax interface.
I request that a feature be included where you can add an option (checkbox or setting) within…

Xero Tax AU - Item D6 Low Value Pool
Low Value Pool:
Xero has locked the entry of low value figures taken from Quantity Surveyors Report for rental properties in tax - item D6 and insists on creating low value pool schedule by entering the asset.
Per advice I received from specialist, I entered the figures and date from the beginning of low value pool e.g. 01/07/2019 with starting amount of $431.00. The following errors and issues come up:
1. The calculated amount was $162 which was claimed five years ago
2. On validation Xero gives error and asks for a date in current year i.e. between 01/07/2024 to…2 votesThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you. It is recommended that for assets purchased in the current year, enter the date they were first used; otherwise, leave that field blank. Also, note that the Xero Tax Low Value Pool is not a comprehensive asset register and therefore does not record the original purchase cost. We've added this idea to Gaining support and it is up to the community to get behind it and support it.

JAX - Ability to enable for multiple organisations at once
We have multiple Practices with multiple organisations. To add JAX to every single organisation is not even fathomable. A feature that allows users to enable JAX for multiple organisation is needed, it doesn't have to be from Xero HQ, possibly even My Xero would work.
4 votesThanks for sharing here, Quazar. We're paying close attention to the feedback we're receiving about JAX and I'll be sure to share this back with the team.
In the meantime it'll be good to get a sense of other practices that'd find this useful here too.

AU Tax - Set a default for the tax agent field
I am hoping it might be possible to create a default for the Agent setting. If this were possible, when we add new clients onto XPM, the Agent field would default to our Agent details, as we only have one Agent to select from.

Practice tools - Notification when Job/Client WIP Budget is exceeded
Currently estimates/quotes require a specific amount of time to be allocated against a specific task for a specific staff member. We need either notifications when total unbilled WIP for a client reaches x amount OR to be able to create a quote/estimate for a total dollar figure across all tasks and staff, and have notifications set when that figure (or % thereof) is reached. This feature is standard in most timekeeping programs and I'm shocked XPM doesn't have it.
1 voteThanks for raising your idea with us here, Elanor. We understand how notifications to draw attention when a budgeted figure is exceeded would be useful. For the time being we're watching the interest on this idea, but will share if there are any plans made around this.

Xero HQ | Insights - Colour Adjustment to Bank Reconciliation Status
It would be beneficial for the Bank Reconciliation Status to return positive insights as well. I have attached a rough adjustment for the 'Up to date' flag, and I feel the slight CSS value adjustment here makes it more visible that the Bank Reconciliation is in fact up to date.

XPM - Audit Trail for jobs in XPM
When using Xero Practice Manager (XPM) for job management, it’s incredibly difficult to maintain visibility because there’s no audit trail or history log for key actions like:
- When a job was created or reassigned
- Who changed the job’s due date or status
- When a job’s responsibility moved from one team member to another
This lack of transparency makes it almost impossible to track accountability or performance accurately.
Why is this so important?
As a firm, we track job completion and lodgement performance, but without a history log, we can’t see whether a job was reassigned after the due date or…27 votesThanks for sharing your feedback on introducing audit trail functionality to XPM.

Bank Reconciliation / Accounts Payable - Option to Post Received Supplier Funds as A/P Overpayment
Want to be able to post money received overpayment's to accounts payable.
At the moment, if a supplier sends back money and we don't yet have the paperwork, to clear the bank rec we need to add as an overpayment (tight closing dates) However, as its money received it automatically gets posted to the sales ledger. It would be good to have the option to post to the payables ledger so this can be allocated here

Clients - Sync Partner and Manager from a Job with clients

Contacts - Supplier Statement "Detailed Ledger" (Running Balance Statement)
We need a new report for suppliers that functions as a true detailed ledger with a running balance.
The Problem: When we need to reconcile an account with a supplier, there is no single, clean report that shows a simple chronological history of all bills and payments. We can run a "Supplier Transaction Report," but it's often not in a simple, statement-style format that's easy to read or send to the supplier.
We need the Accounts Payable equivalent of the "Detailed Ledger" statement that is also needed for customers.
The Request (Solution): Please create a new report, "Supplier Detailed Ledger,"…
2 votesHi Jasmine, thanks for sharing this idea with us. We can see why this would be helpful for some users. Currently, Xero offers the Supplier bill activity report and the contacts Activity statement. While this information is available on the account transaction report,it is not available in a Statement format. We've moved this idea to Gaining support so that other users who want this idea implemented can vote for it as well. You may share this idea with your colleagues to get more traction!
