AU Tax - CGT Event Summary Report
Competitor software provides a summary of the CGT events from a tax return in a 'line-per-transaction' view that's easy for clients to view and understand. This is lacking since switching to Xero Tax.
1 voteHi Alex , we appreciate your feedback on how a dedicated CGT Event Summary report could make it easier to review and reconcile complex capital gains activity during tax prep.
Having a single report to view CGT events and supporting calculations could help reduce the need to work across multiple schedules and asset records. We’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can track interest and share the feedback with our product teams.

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.

XPM - Booking calendar integration
Develop a booking calendar that integrates with our XPM client database. At the moment we have to run two different databases for the same information, to schedule bookings for clients with accountants/block out time for jobs.

ATO Compliance Reporting - Suggestion for "Unlodged Activity Statements" Report
Looking for a report that identifies clients who have registered for GST or PAYG with the ATO but have not lodged any Activity Statements (AS). This needs to be linked to the ATO. (some of these clients are new to needing to complete AS).

Attached is a sample (this report does to PAYG etc)3 votesThank you for submitting your detailed idea and highlighting the key improvements you are looking for.
Your suggestion has been reviewed and is now live for the community to consider and support. We encourage you to share your idea with colleagues who would also benefit, as their votes will help demonstrate the demand for this change.

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.

Clients - Add Clients to contacts from the Contacts screen
On the Contacts information page you should be able to associate the Contact with a Client and manage associated Clients from the Contacts information page also.
5 votesAppreciate there are different flows for when and how you might update this sort of information, Christopher. Thanks for sharing how we could improve this association for you.
We'll keep an eye on the interest of your idea here, and I'll let you know if there are any plans made to accommodate.

Personal Tax (UK) | 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 - 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 - 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.
3 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.
