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.

Appreciate 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.

Spot on. Tracking profitability per return would be much easier with automatic tracking while jumping between client files. We actually built a background tracker specifically for this (called TimeWaveTracker). Because it monitors active windows and active organisations, it logs exactly how much time you spend in a specific client's Xero Tax file without any manual data entry. Take a look if you're still trying to automate this!
