XPM - Pre-fill PAYG Instalments report
In Xero Practice Manager, we can view the ATO prefill PAYG Instalment amounts for each client individually. Is it possible for XPM to create a report or export option that allows us to download the full ATO prefill PAYGI list for all clients at once?
17 votesHi Tanya, thanks so much for your feedback on PAYG Instalment reporting in XPM. We really appreciate you taking the time to share how a bulk export of ATO prefill data would help your practice.
We’ve reviewed your idea and moved it to Gaining Support, which means it’s now open for the community to vote on and add their own comments. If you’re able to share a bit more about your workflow, it might encourage others to jump in with their experiences too, and give the product team a clearer picture of the need.
We’ll keep you updated on any progress.

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.

Xero Workpapers - Link to Prior Year (Archived) Workpaper Pack
A quick link from this years (active) workpaper pack to last years (archived) workpaper pack for this client would be so useful and save so much time. Accessing prior year (archived) workpapers is such a 🥴 workflow at present.
Ideally this would be available on the Workpapers page (where you can see all workpapers) and take you to the same for last year, and it would be available on every individual workpaper page (and take you to that same page for last year).
17 votesHi team, we've been listening to your feedback and understand just how important it is to have an efficient workflow when preparing workpapers.
As you may have heard, we've been working on a brand new Workpapers solution. This is a complete overhaul of our Workpapers offering, and we're thrilled to confirm that linking to the prior year's archived workpaper pack is on the roadmap.
The new solution will include direct and seamless navigation between years, providing a link from the current year's workpaper pack to the previous year's archived pack for the same client. This'll save you significant time, making your compliance and review workflows much smoother. We're phasing the rollout, starting with Australia, with a global expansion to follow. I'll keep you updated here as this release widens.

Workpapers - Add ABN on Financial Reports.
Some banks require the ABN or ACN to be present on all pages of the Financial Reports supplied to them. Currently, the only way to do this is to export the report to Excel and then painstakingly type the ABN/ACN in to every single page.
There should be an option to toggle this on/off. Alternatively a field type that pulls the ABN from the company file would be suffice to add to the report template.
Please see attached an example on the footer of a report page.

NZ Tax - Preview tax return
It would be great to be able to preview returns on screen rather than having to export to PDF.
17 votesThanks for the confirmation, Heather. No changes planned around this right now but we'll get an understanding of the appetite for this here.

Xero Tax XPM - calculate the estimated PAYG instalment payable in SMSF Tax Returns
It would be good if Xero Tax calculated the estimated PAYG instalment payable in SMSF Tax Returns as we use this to inform our clients of what amounts they are up for in the new financial year, a very important piece of information for them to consider re timing and amount of cashflow outgoings. Xero Tax does it for individuals so not sure how difficult it would be to make it apply for all entities subject to the PAYG Instalment system.

NZ Tax return - Refresh refund bank account from IRD data
Provide the ability to import/refresh the clients refund bank account number held with IRD into the Tax Return. Currently seems like we are having to manually enter it on the tax return. MYOB has this functionality and it's great, saves time and typos.

Xero Tax - Archive Draft tax returns
Currently, Xero only lets us archive the returns that are already filed (or are in the filed status).
There are scenarios, when the clients come in to do the tax return- we need more information and client does not respond. We do have an option of suspending the returns- however, these returns will still be left in draft making the draft tax returns list unnecessarily longer.
Xero is not currently allowing us to archive the returns that are in the draft status. Either we have to mark the return as 'filed' before it can be archived or these have to…

XPM - move timesheet entries between tasks/jobs from within a draft invoice.
It would be great to be able to move timesheet entries between tasks/jobs from within a draft invoice.
Currently if an employee has allocated time to incorrect job or task, it appears the only way to correct this is to delete the invoice, open the job, move the timesheet entry and then create a new draft invoice.
Thank you

Practice Manager | Recurring Jobs - 2 date fields (Issue date & work start date)
It would be useful to have two dates for recurring jobs - one on which the recurring job is generated and a second date for when the work is to be started. We like to have all of our annual jobs generate on 1 April so we can easily see what work is outstanding for the year, received or not, but we obviously can't start everything in April. The planning aspects of XPM would be more useful if we could set the jobs to generate on 1 April then input a start date of when we are likely to start…

AU Tax - Make bank account compulsory on tax return
AU-Bank account on tax return
I would like Xero to make it COMPULSORY to list a bank account on the cover of the Tax return - adn NOT BE ABLE to lodge unless a bank account is listed. Seems odd that Sage Handisoft tax programme has had this feature as a ERROR casuing lodgement stopping error for OVER 10 years and Xero still doesnt have this.

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.
16 votesHi everyone, thank you for sharing this here. We've moved this idea to gain more support from the community as we can see there's quite a few votes. We want to get an understanding of other users that might want to see this feature implemented as well. In the meantime, please feel free to share this with your friends and colleagues so they can add their votes and comments too.

Practice tools - Improve client screen layout on mobile devices
Following the recent XPM updates in Nov/Dec 2025, the client screen does not display correctly when viewed on a mobile device. The page layout appears distorted and is difficult to read, making it hard to use in a mobile web browser.
Older XPM pages that have not been updated yet still display normally on mobile, so it would be helpful to improve the layout and usability of the updated client screen to ensure it is mobile-friendly for web access.
16 votesAppreciate your feedback on this and good to understand the different ways our partners are often viewing this information, Natascha.
Your feedback here has been shared back with our product team and I'll be sure to loop you in if there are any improvements planned for how the page responds when viewing from a mobile browser.

Staff - Ability to request access to Clients from admin
It would be handy for a Staff member to be able to send a request to a Practice admin to access a Client when needed.
16 votesHi community, we've started this request to gauge specific interest in enabling staff to request access to a Client within the unified experience.
Stemming from this original idea, this isn't something we have direct plans of at this time, but our product teams are staying close to the ground on what our practices would like to see developed and will consider this in future planning. 🙏
