AU Tax - Track time spent on a return
Can you automatically keep the start and end times when working on a tax return per user.
3 votesAppreciate you raising this idea about tracking time on returns within Xero Tax, Neil. It’s something that can make a difference for teams trying to manage capacity or reflect on the actual effort behind each return.
This idea is now sitting in the gaining support stage, which means it’s open for others in the community to engage with. As more votes and comments come through, it helps the product team see where this functionality might be most impactful and what specific outcomes users are looking for.
If there’s a particular reporting format, integration, or manual workaround you’re currently using to track this, sharing that in the comments could be really helpful. It adds valuable context and helps show how this could tie into existing practice workflows.

Document Pack - Schedule time to send document pack
Document Pack - Allow time delay.
For example I want to finish the work now but dont want it sent to the client for another 2 days so can set a time to be sent out.3 votesHi Alexandra, thanks for sharing your idea about being able to schedule the time to send a document pack.
We can see how having more control over when document packs are sent would be useful in managing your client communications more effectively. While this idea is still new, it’s been reviewed by our community team and is now marked as Gaining Support.
At this stage, we’re keeping the idea open to see how much interest it gathers—so if others would find this helpful too, please feel free to add your vote or leave a comment to share how it would benefit your workflow.

Xero Tax fields in XPM to be importable and extended to UTRs for business tax clients.
Within XPM there are fields for individuals in the Tax section of Client with UTR and National Insurance number. It is not possible to import and upload to them, this would be useful as they then link to Xero Tax when filing a tax return. Currently we have them stored in a custom field as these weren't available originally. It would be good to be able to import all of our custom fields to the system's UTR and NINO fields.
There is also not a Tax section on Limited Company clients to add a UTR to. Companies need UTRs and…
3 votesHi Stewart, thanks for raising this idea. It’s clear that the ability to import Unique Taxpayer References (UTR) and National Insurance Numbers (NINO) is important to you, and we hear the pain points about the extra manual work involved in not having this feature. A possible workaround is using a custom field for now, which can help keep this data within Xero Practice Manager. ⭐I wanted to provide an update on this. At Xerocon, we announced new developments for Xero Practice Manager and Xero HQ that are designed to improve efficiency and help you manage clients more effectively. While I can't promise a specific timeline or confirm that this exact feature will be included, we believe these enhancements will help streamline many of the workflows you’ve highlighted. We'll be sure to provide another update as soon as we have more information. Thank you for your patience and for helping us…

Practice Manager - Add a VAT Reconciliation report in the Reports section
Hi there, could Xero please add a VAT reconciliation report to the reports section where we can reconcile each VAT period's VAT payable/receivable to the VAT control account. This would make the VAT reviews and VAT reconciliations at year end so much easier and faster.

Practice Manager - Single Dashboard access all practice tools
It would be lovely if a practice could acces every required platform from the Xero dashboard. Including where one can keep an eye on the practices status and points.

XPM - Link multiple jobs to invoices
Being able to link several jobs with the one invoice raised in Xero blue. When issuing through Practice Ignition, it only allows you to allocate to one invoice in XPM. Moving the timesheets is clunky and inaccurate

Workpapers - User Management centralisation in XPM/HQ
Workpapers Practice Staff Management is not integrated with XPM/HQ. User access should be manageable the XPM so that all Xero owned products Practice Staff access can be managed in one area. This would allow practices to control their staff in one place, rather than having to add and remove staff separately in the Workpapers App.
3 votesHi Rebecca, thanks for this great idea about centralising user management for Workpapers.
We understand that having to manage staff access separately in Workpapers instead of in one central place like XPM or Xero HQ creates extra administrative work. Your suggestion to integrate Workpapers user management so you can control all practice staff access from a single location makes perfect sense.

UK Tax - Detailed Balance Sheet in statutory accounts for Micro Entities
Ability to generate a detailed Profit and Loss and Balance Sheet in the Statutory accounts for micro entities.
3 votesWe're thankful for you sharing the changes that could make using Xero Tax more impactful for you and your clients, Doina.
As you've mentioned 2 separate reports I've split your idea so we can get an understanding of the community interest in each and keep you updated if there are any plans made.
I've renamed this one specifically for a detailed Balance Sheet and you'll find another for a detailed Profit & Loss over here.

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.

Workpapers - Ability to delete duplicate clients from the organisation list
When creating a new workpaper pack, clients appearing under the Organisation dropdown is taken from XPM (as a one-way sync).
It isn't possible to delete duplicate clients in Workpapers, even once they've been removed from XPM and the information has been synced again.
The downside is that the Permanent workpaper isn't brought forward from LY and there's no sync to XPM (as it's connected to the true client record).
The workaround is to edit the client name in the Settings (by putting a DNU or ZZ in the name), save it, then delete that Workpaper.
It would be preferable to…
3 votesHi Anthony, thanks for submitting this detailed idea for improving Xero Workpapers.
We can certainly see how having duplicate clients appear in the organisation list would be frustrating, especially when it prevents permanent files from being brought forward correctly. Your suggestion to have a two-way sync with XPM or the ability to directly archive or delete these duplicates makes a lot of sense.
We're grateful for your engagement and for letting us know the changes that matter to you. We've reviewed your idea and now it can gain support from other community members.

Xero HQ - Copy all client tax details into their Xero organisation
Maybe I'm missing something (integration settings perhaps) but if I enter a personal tax client's details into Xero HQ, then only some of this pushes into Xero Blue and I have to re-enter certain details like client code, email address etc as well as new fields such as sales defaults. Similarly, not all of the data pushes into Xero PM and the UTR/NI number have to be entered again. Is it not possible to have a Xero HQ as the single point of entry which then updates all fields in Xero PM and Xero Blue?
3 votesAppreciate your feedback on how syncing more data between Xero HQ and your client organisations would be useful, Balley.
We'll continue to get an understanding of the interest for this here.
Just to note around your request for syncing data between Xero HQ and XPM - as you may have seen from recent news we are unifying the clients and staff experience across HQ and XPM in what will soon be Xero Partner Hub meaning all your client data will be synced and consistent. You can read more about this here.

Report Template - Allow re-ordering of report codes in practice templates Sources
Given Xero's push for 'beautiful accounting' I find it very frustrating that the template report codes can't be re-ordered within their groups in the template reports and always revert to alphabetical at the client level, meaning every single client needs their custom reports formatting unnecessarily. Editing reports at every single client level for what I consider to be pretty basic formatting is really disappointing.
The practice level report template should allow for report codes to be reordered within their groups. I don't want rent, rates and utility costs to be at the bottom of the establishment costs section because they…
3 votesHey Gareth, we appreciate you sharing this idea and highlighting the extra time spent manually reordering report codes in clients’ organisations. It’s clear that a better solution would help your practice run more smoothly.
Right now, the only option is to reorder the codes manually within each client’s report. We know this isn’t the best solution and adds extra steps to your workflow.
This idea is currently in the Gaining Support stage, so it’s open for votes and comments from the community. The feedback will help us understand how many people this would benefit and how important it is to your practice. We’ll keep you posted here as soon as there’s any news.

NZ Tax - Comparative Report for prior year
There should be a comparative report available for New Zealand tax returns. This already exists for Australian tax returns. It is an excellent feature that really assists with preparing returns and avoiding missing details from prior years. I would love to see this feature available for New Zealand tax returns. Thank you.
3 votesHi Emile, we're grateful for your engagement and for sharing this excellent idea to use comparatives in a return in NZ Tax. We agree that having a feature like this, similar to what's available for Australian tax returns, would be a fantastic tool to help ensure accuracy and streamline the preparation of returns.

Custom report formula - formula can look through a closed group
It would be very handy to be able to create a formula in a custom report that could reference a group/custom row that sits within a closed group as sometimes you need these rows in order to drive the formula but they dont add any helpful information to the final report.

AU Tax - Exclude Xero figures from worksheet when importing xero data
We 'import from xero' the data to preopolute the tax return. However, the P&L and Balance Sheet items appear in the tax return as a worksheet when printed. It would be great if this was excluded, but retained the other worksheets.

Permissions - Additional Staff permissions for editing recurring jobs
Due to issues with staff editing recurring jobs but not updating the job name and/or description I would like to see the staff permissions for recurring jobs amended to have a dropdown list so we can limit staff access to editing recurring jobs but leave access to view, create and delete in the same way as with clients.

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.
