Xero Tax(AU) | Worksheet to calculate number of days not liable for M2 (Medicare levy surcharge)
When some client has more than 1 health insurance policy and the period of the same are diffrent and sometime overlapping we need the work out this manually which can sometime be wrongly caluclated and can impact the tax estimates.
Xero should have a worksheet where we can enter policy details along with perioid of coverage to that it can calculae the days acurately. Similar feature is avaialble in MYOB AO and comes in very handy.

Report - Yet to be started GST Returns
There is currently no option in XPM to build a report that shows the GST returns that have not been created yet. Whilst this is possible using the [Client] Tax Return Status field for Financial year end returns, it is not possible for GST returns.
For practices needing to file 100s of GST returns for various clients each month. Having the ability to see, for a given period, whether any GST filings were missed would be extremely helpful.
5 votesHi David, we appreciate your idea about GST return tracking in XPM. Being able to create a custom report to view GST returns that haven’t been done yet would be really helpful, especially for practices managing high volumes of returns.
We’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support, so it’s now open for votes and comments. The more feedback and use cases shared here, the better our product team can understand how valuable this would be.
We’d love to hear how others currently manage GST return tracking and whether this report would support your workflow. Thanks again for starting the conversation!

Xero Tax (UK) | Add client address and balance sheet data to sa800 or partnership tax
Ability to add client address and balance sheet data to sa800 or partnership tax - raising on behalf of customer.
5 votesHey Mandy, thanks for asking Anchal to raise this as an Idea for review. As Anchal and the Product team have conveyed this is being looked at currently (Balance Sheet addition to Partnership filings) and there will be updates as this progresses. The client address is not something we are looking at currently as it is not mandatory for HMRC or Companies House.

Clients - Export client data (eg phone numbers)
With the new layout the old reports - even the customisable ones do not have all these new fields that can be chosen and exported.
Eg there are now multiple phone fields which is great but I use this data to export to my phone system but now I cant.
4 votesHi Matthew, appreciate you sharing how the ability to export clients' information can supports your workflows, particularly when integrating with external systems like phone or CRM tools.
This idea has now moved to Gaining Support, which means it’s open for the community to vote and add comments. With the new layout, some of the fields available in the old reports, like multiple phone numbers — aren’t currently included in exports. Hearing how this affects your workflow, and what fields you’d find most useful, helps our product team understand the real-world impact and prioritise improvements.
We encourage anyone who would find this useful to add their votes and share how it could benefit their practice. Thanks for helping us make Xero even better.

AU Tax - Improve the validation error experience
I had a validation error CMN.ATO.DISTBENTRT.000013 generated in an SMSF tax return.
When I clicked on the validation error it took me to a specific trust income schedule (number 10 of 18), which had several fields highlighted. The error says that there must be a number in any of the fields A B D U and so on - this schedule met this condition.
After much wasted time trying to re-enter fields, checking there were no blank spaces, deleting and re-entering all fields, deleting and re-entering the whole schedule, I contacted support.
It turns out the error was actually generated…29 votesHi Vicki, we're grateful for your detailed suggestion of how to improve the validation error linking and highlighting experience in AU Tax.

Need alphabetical list of clients to be in order of LAST name, not first.
We have individual clients' display names set as "Joe Bloggs", not "Bloggs, Joe", so they look sensible on their tax returns etc.
But this means that when you see an on-screen list of Tax Payments Waiting Approval, or if you display or print a report, the individual clients show up in order of their FIRST names which is not logical and can make it difficult to find them on the list. This is also a problem with the reports.
The report field "Client" gives you the "display name" for individuals and the "name" for non-individuals, so all the individuals are…

Xero Tax (AU) - Automatically add the ABN from the client record to P5 of the individual tax return
Any taxpayer can only have one ABN.
Why does Xero leave P5 blank when it could put the ABN (which is already in the client record) into P5 for me?
If you're worried about there sometimes being an ABN in the client record but there being no business that year and it needing to be blank.. then make it work the same as when I rollover from a prior period - last year's fields are rolled over but I can delete them if need be.
Same thing here - when I create the tax return, either:
- roll-over from the…9 votesThanks for sharing your idea to automatically add the ABN to P5 when completing the ITR.

AU Tax - set default print settings for your practice
It would be great to be able to set default print settings for the practice, especially by tax return type. Recently Xero changed the default and now I have an extra box to untick each time. Pain in the backside. Thanks

XPM - Set date to run Aged Debtor Report
Ability to run an Aged Debtors Report of what debts clients owed us at a certain date in XPM. For example, we want to see what our clients owed us at 30/06/25, however the Standard Report (Aged Balance Report) can't be run to a certain date and if we create our own Report in Report Builder it removes clients from the report if they have paid since 01/07/25 and now owe nothing. We need these figures to do clients Financials and also for our own Practice reporting. We can run it in Xero Blue however we don't have the ability…

When you have a departing group, you have to now click on the group, select the entity, click on the 3 dots and select Archive.
This removes the entity from the group. You then have to start again and search the next entity from clients, and repeat the steps. as you cannot select back to take you back to the group.

NZ Tax - Ability to add manual transactions to NZ tax return (eg. expected penalty)
Please can you make it possible to add manual transactions to the "tax statement" that will show up in the tax return.
We often did this with MYOB, eg. adding a penalty that we know will be charged after the tax return has been filed, or changing a late filing penalty from $50 to $250 if the client's income is more than $100k (as this will be updated at IRD after the return is filed).
At the moment it looks like we can only edit the pdf which is very disappointing...

Xero Practice Manager - Implement total GST validation check on invoices
The Xero XPM system calculates GST for each task being billed, but it doesn’t have a total GST check at the invoice level. As a result, some invoices with round billed amounts—such as $30,000—end up with incorrectly rounded GST, for example, $2,999.99. Xero calculates GST on each line item of invoices and other transactions, rounding to the nearest cent. The total GST is then the sum of these individual line calculations, which can sometimes lead to small discrepancies in the overall GST amount.
While Xero doesn't currently offer a total GST validation feature at the invoice level, we would appreciate…6 votesHi Martin, thanks for sharing your idea about GST validation in XPM invoicing. It’s really helpful to hear how a total GST check could help prevent rounding discrepancies.

UK Tax - Restrict dividend date to the period

UK Tax - SA100 - Change personal tax allowance
