Xero HQ | Insights - Ability to filter by client group
Please include in the Insights tab the ability to filter by client group.
10 votesHi everyone, thank you for contributing to this idea. We understand how useful it would be to filter the Insights dashboard by client groups in Xero HQ. Right now, you can filter the main Clients list by custom groups, but the Insights dashboard doesn’t support this filter just yet.
The exciting news is that we’re currently working on the Xero Partner Hub, which includes exploring ways to enhance reporting and insights tools. You can find out more about what’s coming on our Blog.
This idea is now in the Gaining Support stage. Your votes and comments play a big part in helping us understand how important this is to the broader Xero community and shape future product conversations. We’ll keep you posted here as more details come through!

AU Tax- Ability to pull due date from ATO
Prefill - when we prefill a return from the ATO it brings in lots of information but doesn't update the due date for lodgement. The date currently appears to prefill from client details.
Can we please have Prefill bring in the ATO due date for the return?
4 votesHi Vicki, thanks for sharing this idea. We can see why this may be helpful for some users. Currently, you can import an 'Income tax lodgment status report' from ATO online services to bulk update the current tax returns due dates in the client details, but for now Xero does not pull this information from the ATO. We've moved this idea to gaining support and we'll monitor the idea for more support.

New FRS102 and FRS105 changes (income recognition and leasing)
Development of new functionality to meet the new FRS 102/105 requirements following from the FRC Periodic Review. Key changes are around income recognition to be based on delivery (known as the 5-step model), and an on-balance sheet treatment for operating leases.
These requirements apply to accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2026,
For the income recognition, the functionality would ideally be embedded in invoicing (and potentially products and services), and this would lead to the correct bookkeeping including disaggregation and recognition of income on delivery, as well as contract debtors and creditors. This new requirement applies to all…
4 votesThanks for sharing through product ideas, here Neal. This is something our product team are currently evaluating. For now we'll move your idea to In discovery and as soon as I have more updates I'll let you know.

Xero Tax (UK) | For CT600 box 326 to be left blank but be a compulsory field
I think to reduce the risk of associated companies not being included in the CT600 in error box 326 should be left blank by Xero but compulsory so that that the return can not be generated without it.
The same warning you get if trying to complete without boxes 975.7 votesThanks, Gemma, for sharing your idea! We've reviewed it, and it's now live for the community to support. Other Xero users can now vote and comment on how it would improve their Xero experience.

Company Accounts (UK) | Final Review Process
When using the new Xero Beta FRS102 IA module based in Xero blue, You can lock the accounts to be sent for signature. But this is not reflected in the Xero Company accounts and tax module on Xero HQ, where the lists of what has and hasn't been done for workflow is kept. It seems to continue to show in progress in the status bar as well. This is important for maintaining Audit trails of who does the review and when things can be sent out.
The final review on the CT600 is still there.1 voteThank you for raising the idea Francisca. We are still exploring the idea of introducing a review process directly within Company Accounts. However, we do plan to display much more about which team member has performed certain actions and when though to create a more visible audit trail throughout the product.
We have moved this Idea to Gaining Support so others can vote and comment and we can gauge the community interest.

Xero HQ fixed assets - Lookup to ATO Effective Life
In the Fixed Assets module, it would be helpful to have the option to link to the ATO's Effective Life tables when adding a new asset. This feature would allow users to search for the Effective Life of an asset. It should also be possible to overwrite this value, allowing you to input a different number of years if they choose to self-assess. Having access to the ATO's guidance would be extremely helpful.

Xero Tax (UK) | MTD - Export report for Income tax
Making Tax Digital for Income Tax

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.
1 voteHi 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 - Add a direct hyperlink to the client profile from the Tax Manager view
I love the new Tax Manager screen in XPM - with Ready to Start. It would be handy if we could click on the Client name to go to their record.
1 voteHi Mary, thanks for sharing this idea. We understand that having quick access to client details while working in Tax Manager would help make workflows smoother.
For now, opening the practice client list in a separate tab can help with switching between views. We’ve moved this to Gaining Support so we can track interest and help our product teams understand the value of improving navigation between these areas.

AU Tax - Default refund account type to client
AU TAX - Default EFT account type to CLIENT
Under Cover > Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) > Account type there are 3 options - Manual, Client, and Agent.
It would be helpful if there was a setting in Client Settings > Client Types to default the EFT Account type, so we don't have to manually change this on every return.

AU Tax - Superannuation Lump Sum Tax Offset
Hi,
When completing Deceased Estate returns in Xero Tax, it seems as per the screenshot provided the newly added estimates does not calculate the Super Lump Sum Tax Offset given the complexity and nature of the Lump Sums.
Is there a way to have Xero Tax calculate the estimate with the Super Lump Sum Tax Offset taken into consideration as it has been in the past on MYOB? This way we can obtain a more accurate estimate of the tax payable for the Trustee.
Thanks,

Practice Manager | Jobs - Search for client when creating a job
When creating a new job the client drop down list can be quite long. it would be good to have the ability to search for the client name instead of selecting from a dropdown menu.
9 votesHi everyone, we’ve created this idea based on feedback we’ve heard from the community.
We know how important it is to be able to instantly search for a client when creating a job in Xero Practice Manager. Manually scrolling through a long drop-down list can be time-consuming, especially for practices with a large client base.
Adding a search function here would make the process faster and more efficient, helping you get straight to work.
This idea is now in the Gaining Support stage. Your votes and comments help us understand how valuable this feature is to the wider Xero community and support future development decisions.

Xero Tax (UK) | CT600 - Land remediation tax credit
Make it possible to claim Land Remediation relief against profits. Should be a simple box addition to the existing form layout. Similar to how R&D currently is where you can claim against profits but not claim the credit when in a loss position.
Top marks for if you can set-up both1 voteThis idea has now moved into gaining support 📌. At the moment, the current method is still to handle this manually while direct support is being worked on.
Thank you for raising this idea with us. We really appreciate the input, as it helps us better understand where changes may be needed and where future improvements could have the most impact. Feedback like this is valuable in helping inform meaningful product changes over time.

AU Tax - Add automated assessment tracking and status flags for Trust returns
I have a number of Trust clients where we expect an assessment. The ATO takes a LONG time to issue these, so I think it would be good to have a similar Notice of Assessment flag like we do for individuals, so we can see which are still outstanding.
Not all trusts have assessments but we should be able to trigger this by the question on the front page of the return about whether the trustee has tax payable.1 voteHi Vicki, we understand how having assessment tracking for Trust returns, similar to NOA tracking for Individual returns, could help monitor outstanding assessments.
We appreciate the suggestion to use existing return indicators, like trustee tax payable, to help surface tracking statuses automatically.
We’ll continue to track the interest and feedback shared here.

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.

XPM - Client group filter members
Please add a column or filter to the XPM Job Manager screen for client Groups. There is currently no column/filter for client group in the job manager screen in XPM - which means if you want to see all the jobs for a client group - e.g. Alf Barbagallo - have to search each entity individually. Also means cannot easily do a bulk update for all jobs in a client group.
2 votes✨ Appreciate you raising this, Julie! We understand how adding a client group filter to Job Manager would speed things up and cut the back-and-forth. In the meantime, a quick workaround: press Ctrl + F (Cmd + F on Mac) and type the client’s name into your browser’s search box to jump to matching entries on the page. Your idea is now in gaining support, so it’s open for votes and comments. If you can, please share it with colleagues who’d benefit—more support helps us gauge impact and prioritise what matters most.

Client list - Add Practice Admin access as a column
We manage user access centrally across thousands of clients and hundreds of users, and Managing Staff Access in Xero HQ and in Staff settings is very messy, particularly when Client Names and Xero Organisation names differ.
Xero HQ only searches over the client name and legal name, so if the Xero Org name is different, we can't find it, and causes confusion and time wasting, particularly when trying to edit staff access.
Staff permissions screens only shows the client name (often truncated) which adds to the issue, so trying to provide a staff member access to multiple Xero Orgs is…1 voteHi Franca, appreciate your feedback here and wanted to share a little more information as we untie your needs.
Within the new Client experience it's possible to search the following fields from the Client list
- Client name
- Organisation name
- Legal name
- Business number
- ABN (AU)
- TFN (AU)
- IRD number (NZ)
- Physical address
- Phone number
However, as you noted it's not possible to view staff permissions from this view. I've slightly updated the title of your idea to reflect this.
Being open we don't have plans for adding the level of practice admin access to the client list however we'll continue to track and share if any plans are made with you here.

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.

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.
