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.

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…

Staff - Notify staff member of access level change
When adding a staff member to a client Xero file with advisor access, previously I was able to notify the staff member. That wasn't an option which meant I needed to go and manually tell the team member that I've added them.
I like being able to choose if I want to notify them or not because if it's something holding up workflow I want them to know so they can continue working but if I'm just adding them to the team they'll expect to have access so I won't want to notify them in that scenario.
4 votesAppreciate your feedback on the beta experience, Sarah. We'll start to get a sense of the interest from the idea here and I'll be sure to share if there are any updates planned for notification of permission changes.

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.

UK Xero Tax - BADR £1m lifetime allowance automatic cap
Automatic BADR lifetime allowance £1m application.
At present for a gain of over £1m you need to enter two transactions, one with a £1m gain to apply BADR, and the remainder to be charged at 20% (24/25).
It would be much better if the system knew the lifetime allowance and applied it only up to the limit.
At present if you put the whole transaction to BADR it will apply 10% to more than £1m which is incorrect.

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,

AU Tax - Ability to lodge FBT return for clubs & society structures
FBT Returns - I have been informed by Xero Support that FBT Returns can only be created for the following structure types:
Individual
Company
Trust
Partnership
Self Managed Superannuation FundNoting that individuals, partnerships and SMSF do not require FBT Returns it seems more prudent to make them available for the club and society structures who actually my have FBT to lodge.

AU Tax - Change default to 'Yes' for transfer capital gains to tax return on Managed Fund Schedule
On Managed Fund Schedule can the transfer capital gains to tax return default to "yes" instead of "no" ?
9 votesHi Lucy, thanks for sharing this specific feedback about our AU Tax module. We know that small adjustments to default settings can often make a big difference in streamlining a workflow.
We've reviewed your suggestion to change the default option to 'Yes' for transferring capital gains to the tax return on the Managed Fund Schedule. Your idea is now ready to gain support and feedback from other tax preparers in the community.
Along with votes, others can now comment to share if this default setting would better match their own process and improve efficiency when preparing returns.

Xero HQ - Connect client record when receiving subscription transfer request
Upon accepting a subscription transfer request, it would be great to have an option to "link to existing client record" or "create a new client record". There's currently no option for this and this creates double-up entries in Xero HQ which need to be manually removed, re-linked and archived.

AU Tax - Create CGT worksheet from Trust Income Schedule (TIS) for non-individual returns
I'm completing my first Trust ITR for 2024, and inputting info into the new Trust Income Schedule.
The Non-PP income flows through to Item 8, but the Capital Gain isn't flowing through to Item 21...
WHY do you insist on SO MUCH double entry??!?
It's not even throwing an error, like the 'Managed Fund' schedule does in an Individual ITR??
56 votesAppreciate the conversations here. The other idea linked in this conversation that we delivered on was the ability for information to flow from the Trust Return(TRT) to Individual Returns(ITR) which is facilitated with the Trust Income Schedule.
We appreciate wanting to see further improvement in this space, and this is something we have intentions of looking at in the future, however we don’t have any timeframe right now. I’ll be sure to share any news with you all here.

Thank you for your interest in having multicurrency available on Xero’s Ledger plans.
We’ve carefully considered this idea as part of our ongoing product reviews. At this stage, enabling multicurrency for Ledger plans is not in our development pipeline, and there are no plans or timelines to introduce this feature for Ledger.
We appreciate your feedback and will continue to review our product roadmap based on customer needs and market demand. If the status of this idea changes in the future, we’ll be sure to provide an update.
Thank you again for your suggestion and for helping us shape the future of Xero. 🙂

XPM - Allow staff to import job costs in XPM without admin access
Currently only administration level can import disbursements and such things. To give a staff member access would mean they also receive access to staff details and such things. Disbursements, especially bulk disbursements, is a task that is not and should not be done by upper management, to limiting access to them is problematic.

AU Tax - Improve reporting for share acquisitions and disposals
For the capital gain worksheet, it can't enter the number of the shares sold and bought. Most of time, the shares sold and bought will operate in different time during the year, it is more efficient to have the number shares match between sold and bought figures.
And also can transfer the worksheet to another partner is they are 50%, reduce time to enter again.
2 votesHi all, we can see how improving the capital gains worksheet in Xero Tax could really streamline things.
At the moment, there's no way to enter the number of shares bought and sold separately, even though these often happen at different times. Being able to match share quantities across transactions would make reporting more accurate and reduce manual checking.
We've also heard similar feedback around shared ownership. A suggestion to allow copying or transferring the worksheet to another return has already been raised and is gaining support. We've added your vote to that idea to help show how useful it would be.
This idea is now in Gaining Support. If this would help in your workflow, feel free to vote or share your thoughts in the comments.

NZ Tax - hold tax return until after P1
NZ Tax 50/50 split to automatically prevent INC return from filing before P1 date. When selecting 50/50 split in the XPM Statements area, the INC return automatically drops all P1 payment details from the Income Tax payment schedule. It also suppresses the P1 tax notice from XPM Payments area.
Can it also stop the filing of the Income Tax return until after the P1 due date, or put a warning in the Audit Check that 50/50 has been selected and the filing date is not set.
2 votesHi Sharon, thanks for sharing your thoughts on NZ Tax filing controls. It’s really helpful to hear how automatic filing prevention could support your 50/50 split workflows.
At the moment, Xero Tax doesn’t automatically hold returns before P1, so timing still needs to be managed manually. Some practices choose to set a future Tax Return File Date in XPM, which delays filing until the date they’ve chosen, though we know this won’t suit every setup.
We’ve moved this idea to Gaining support, and it’s now open for the wider community to join the conversation. If you’re open to it, adding a little more detail about your workflow could help others see where this makes a difference.
For anyone else following along, we’d love to hear your experiences too. The more perspectives we gather, the better we can understand the need. Looking forward to seeing the discussion grow.

NZ Tax - Check of Overseas Income Jurisdiction codes to identify invalid country code
NZ Tax Audit Check of Overseas Income Jurisdiction Codes needs corrected to identify invalid country code UK and bring up a red error message. The correct code for the United Kingdom is GB not UK, the audit check should pick this up at the audit check stage which it currently does not. Thus when we go to file the return the return goes in to error as the jurisdiction code is invalid.

XPM - End date column into Recurring jobs view
Add the end date column into Recurring jobs view so that you see the jobs that are not active and sort by that column. The job may have a current next date but it has actually been ended with an end date and you cannot tell from the main view without clicking into the job.

XPM/XHQ - Centralised user management for Apps/Add-ins.
We need a centralised user management solution for add-ins/apps. What is in place now is too unwieldy once you have more than a few clients. Apps are an important part of the Xero proposition and add tremendous value to the platform. The solution would allow clients and practices to manage users across Xero and the apps enrolled for, which would save significant amounts of time and be much more efficient than what is in place right now i.e. having to set-up users indivdually in each app.
1 voteHey Edward, thanks for raising this Idea with us, we appreciate the time taken to put this forward. We understand this change could be a time saver and we have moved this to Gaining Support 💃 We encourage you to share this with friends and colleagues so they can vote and comment and get this idea some traction wiht the Product team.
