Client - Address field integration and synchronization across related client entities
Address field enhancements
- copy button (similar to ABN copy button)
- intergration of addresses between clients, so that if client changes address you dont have to go into each related entity and update multiple addresses for many clients
2 votesAppreciate you raising this suggestion. Being able to update an address once and have it reflected across related clients or entities could make managing family groups and corporate structures much easier.
We’ve moved this to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback. If this would be useful, add your vote and share which client relationships or address fields you’d want to keep linked.

Xero Sign free for Personal Tax Returns
Why is Xero Sign free for company accounts but not for personal tax? Xero state that this is because multiple people have to sign in multiple places on a personal tax return - which is not true in any case!
If a partner requires multiple documents signed in the one pack then of course Adobe Packs are a good way to facilitate this, but for one document signing it should be free as advertised!
Xero Tax is free for Xero Partners, which is fine as it isn't sophisticated or clever enough to be paid for right now. But to find…

Xero Sign: Default to 'unpaginated' for e-devices, phones and tablets
At present Xero Sign defaults to a paginated view when the client is trying to sign off their documents, but this does not display properly on a phone or a tablet. The central area is blank and can't be scrolled. If the software defaulted to 'unpaginated' this solves the problem with mobile browsers - have tested on Apple and Android devices and clicking the 'unpaginate' link displays the document correctly.
2 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing your feedback on this idea.
We understand the request to default Xero Sign documents to an unpaginated view on phones and tablets, which could make signing more straightforward on smaller screens. We’ve reviewed this idea and it’s now open for community support through votes and comments.
We encourage others who would benefit from this to add their votes and share their experiences, helping us understand the broader need. We’ll continue to monitor the feedback and update this thread as we learn more.

Colour Coding the signature status of the return in progress
Colour Code the status of the AS/Tax return to make it easier to quickly see as currently the screen is hard to see as it looks similar (for example returned green - out to sign orange etc etc)

Clients - Reports that show number of clients in a group
When I view the groups in the client tab, then manage groups, it shows the number of clients in each group, but I cannot export that information, or I cannot report on the Group number of clients data.
Seems that this isn't a big issue to create a new field to add to the Group report for number of clients in each group, because the data is there...
2 votesThanks for sharing this idea. We understand the request to include the number of clients per group in reports for exports. Having this information available could make it easier to review client allocation and prepare practice reports.
We’ve updated the status to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest. If this would improve your workflow, add your vote and share how you’d use the client count.

final tax return
want to be able to create Report Builder filtering Tax Returns where 'Final Tax Return' has been answered 'Yes' - this will help keep Offboarding & ATO list tiday & up to date for lodgement performance - can't seem to find this field in current report filters though

AU Tax - Ability to print/download separate schedules/worksheets
Please enable download/print option for specific worksheets and schedules, so that they can become their own standalone document. Example, if I only want to view the rental schedule, have the ability to PDF just this part of the return. This would make the preparation of working paper documents much clearer, and support internal workflow processes. Ideally there would be a print/download button at the top of each schedule/worksheet for quick navigation.
2 votesThanks for raising this idea, Sarah. Being able to print or download a specific tax schedule as a standalone document could make managing working papers more straightforward.
We’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback. Add your vote and let us know which schedules or worksheets you’d find most useful.

AU Tax - Option to show TFN when printing return at any time
At the moment, we can only print the tax return to show the TFN before changing the status to out-for-sign. The option should be available at all times to enable printing the tax return with the TFN when required. We have received a few requests from banks asking for the tax return with the TFN, but we aren't able to reprint it once it is lodged.
2 votesHi Ribert, thanks for highlighting this. We can see how being able to print or download a lodged tax return with the TFN visible could be helpful when clients need to provide documents to banks or other third parties.
Currently, the option to display the TFN is only available before the return progresses beyond certain stages of the workflow. Once lodged, the TFN is masked on generated copies to help protect sensitive information.
I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest from the community. If there are particular scenarios where you regularly need to reproduce lodged returns with the TFN visible, we'd appreciate hearing more about those use cases.

NZ Tax - IETC part year calculations up until entitlement for Best Start payments commences
Why will the IR3 Tax return not let you claim the IETC for the number of months a client is entitled to, before Best Start payments start. It will calculate the IETC for the 9 months in the return but as soon as the Working for Families schedule is added with the Best Start Payments boxed ticked it changes the calculation to NIL.
You would think that the IETC calculation would remain or could be manually over-ridden so all calculated amounts would show on the tax summary for the client. This could be flagged when an audit of the tax…
2 votesHi Joanne, appreciate you raising the idea with us here.
Just to confirm how this currently works - in the Xero Tax IR3 form, IETC is tied to the income amount entered in the return. The question that asks whether they're eligible is part of the form logic, and will determine if your income or status is non-qualifying. If this is the case it'll mark IETC as unavailable.
While we'll get a sense of the wider interest in a change for this here, we want to be upfront that we don't have any short term plans for changing this forms logic.

AU Tax - Detailed breakdown of prefilled Allowances from STP data
I refer to
CX0018002998this https://productideas.xero.com/users/6251636716-christopher-le was wrongly merged to another idea.
I paste it again
When the label 2 of an ITR is prefilled, I want to be able to detail or write a breakdown of what that allowance amount consist of from the client's STP income statement. e.g.
- Laundry ###,
- Motor vehicle ###,
- Telephone ###at the moment the function just inputs the total allowance figure shown in prefill
2 votesHi Christopher, appreciate you sharing your thoughts on this. While STP prefill helps reduce manual entry, we understand there are times where additional detail is needed to complete the return.
Having a clearer breakdown of allowances within the tax return could help reduce manual work. We’ve updated the status to Gaining Support so we can track feedback and share interest with the product team.

XPM - Duplicate Town names removed
Remove duplicate suburb name for NZ addresses. Currently needs to manually delete the duplicate suburb name when using the auto-complete feature to populate address fields
2 votesHi there 🙂
Thanks for sharing this with us — we understand how frustrating it is when the address lookup repeats the town or suburb and creates extra tidy-up work.
We’re aware of this behaviour, and we’ve now moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can better gauge community interest and understand the wider impact this is having for customers.
We’ll continue to monitor the feedback here as it comes in. Thanks again for taking the time to raise it.

AU Tax - Allow bulk EFT Report retrieval
In XERO Tax - when retrieving the EFT reports for monies into Trust. Currently XERO only allows one at a time. If you have 30 or 40 fee from refund returns in one day, you never get the reports in time. Other softwares allow a bulk download that shows (eg - on 20 April 2026) this many deposits were made to your Trust Account and these are the clients they are in relation to. This is one snapshot for one day. It is an impossible function as it stands for big practice.
2 votesThanks Meschel for raising this. We hear that managing EFT reports individually can be time-consuming.
The idea of bulk exporting EFT details in one action could help improve efficiency for firms handling larger workloads. This has now been moved to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking demand and share it with our product team.

XHQ - Bulk amend access to File VAT returns
It would be great if we could remove access to Filing VAT returns for staff members from all client organisations that they have access to. currently we have to go into each individual organisation to remove this.
2 votes✨ Hi everyone,
Thanks for sharing your feedback on this idea.
We appreciate you explaining how clearer control over staff VAT access would help when managing client access across Xero HQ and client organisations.
We’ve reviewed this idea and are moving it to Gaining Support. This means it’s now open for votes and comments from the wider community.
If this would help your practice, please keep voting and share any specific examples of how this would improve your workflow. That extra context is helpful for our team when assessing impact and prioritising future improvements.
We’ll continue to monitor the support this idea receives and update the thread if there’s progress to share.

Client - Add a dedicated "Trading As" field to client's record
This request is for an additional “Trading As” name (or T/A) field to be added to XERO on “Contact” level. This T/A name must then also appear on the client invoices below the entity Legal Name. This T/A field must also be available separately on Client reporting level.
Examples of current problems we are experiencing:
The “Contact name” field is used to populate the name of the entity on the Invoices and various Reporting.This "Name field" in most applications or software programs must only contain the entity formal Legal Name. As several of our clients use a "Trading As"…
2 votesHi Juanita, thanks for sharing this suggestion. We understand that when you’re managing client records, having a clear way to separate legal names from trading names can be helpful.
The suggestion here is to add a dedicated Trading As / DBA field to contact records, so this information can be stored separately and be easier to find when managing invoices, statements, and client details.
We’ve moved this to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest and gather more examples from practices that use trading names as part of their day-to-day workflows.

AU Tax - Allow custom cover letters and document templates for CURNN forms
I would like to be able to create a custom cover letter to go with the CURNN.
2 votesHi Elaine, we understand that having more flexibility with client-facing documents can help practices keep communications consistent with their own branding and processes.
The suggestion is to allow custom cover letters to be included with CURNN forms, so the full client pack can be created in one place.
For now, you can download the CURNN confirmation and attach it to your own cover letter or template. We’ve moved this to Gaining Support so we can track interest and help our product teams understand the value of adding more document customisation options.

AU Tax - Company business structure will pull the Physical address to the Dividends and interests schedule.
Company business structure tax returns should pull the physical address to the Dividends and Interests schedule, instead of the Postal address. It is not correct to put a PO Box or postal address in the schedule and you are not able to update the address field.
Currently only Partnership tax returns will pull the physical address to the Dividends and Interests schedule.
2 votesHi Julie, thanks for sharing this idea. We understand that having company details flow through to tax schedules automatically would help reduce repeated data entry when completing returns.
We hear the request for the company physical address to pre-fill into the Dividends and Interest schedule, so you don’t need to manually enter the information.
We’ve moved this to Gaining Support so we can track interest and help our product teams understand the value of improving data flow between company details and tax schedules.

AU Tax - Ability to create a Custodian Relationship for SMSF's
Would it be possible to create a new relationship option for Self Managed Superannuation Funds - 'Custodian'. Often when we have SMSF's with properties the SMSF has a trustee company and also an additional company as Custodian for the SMSF. It would be helpful to link both companies to the SMSF via relationships to get a better view of the client's structure.

Allow businesses to access workpapers
Allow businesses access to workpapers including workflows etc, the same as accounting practices have. This will allow bigger businesses to set up appropriate workflows and not have to take reconciliations out of Xero to complete, saving time and improving processes.
2 votesHi Arna, just to check in on your idea here - Are you asking for small business without a Xero advisor to have access to Workpapers?

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…
2 votesThanks 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.
We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. Make sure you share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit so they can add their vote too!
