Tax Manager - Export 'Ready to Start' returns list and ATO Income Tax Client Report
The new Tax Manager and Ready to Start tab is excellent, but after my first attempt at pre-filling, there is a discrepancy in the total returns in my pipeline per Tax Manager vs my total returns due/lodged per ATO Online Services.
I can export my Income Tax Lodgement Status directly from ATO Online Services to a CSV file, however there is no way to export the list of 'Ready to Start' returns, nor even the specific imported 'Income Tax Client Report' as pulled by Partner Hub from the ATO. I'm aware that Xero matches clients from that report to existing…
2 votesThanks for taking the time to suggest this. A way to export the Ready to Start list and ATO Income Tax Client Report directly from Tax Manager could make annual tax data matching much more efficient.
Having both lists in CSV format could allow practices to filter, compare and identify discrepancies in bulk rather than checking each client individually.
I’ve updated the status to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community feedback. If this is something you’d use, add your vote and share how you’d like the export to work.

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
23 votesThanks for your idea, Sam. We'll get a sense of the interest in this from the community here.
If there are any updates planned that could improve your print options we'll be sure to let you know.

AU Tax - Partial Main Residence Exemption Code (in the CGT Worksheet section)
Recently we had a client who sold their property, which triggered a CGT event. The property was initially their main residence, however this ceased once the property commenced being rented out. Therefore, a partial main residence exemption applies, however Xero Tax doesn't currently provide a code to acknowledge this scenario, once providing a main residence exemption code (see attachment). For enhanced clarity, it would arguably be useful if such a code was provided, so the gross capital gain can be apportioned between the amount subject to CGT & amount subject to the full MRE.
14 votesThanks so much for sharing your feedback on adding a Partial Main Residence Exemption code to the CGT Worksheet in Xero Tax.
As you know, right now, the best workaround is to manually adjust either the Capital proceeds or Cost base in the worksheet. This helps ensure the correct Net capital gain flows through to Item 18A, and still lets you use Exemption Code I. We know it’s not ideal, and it’s exactly the kind of thing you want a built-in solution for.
We’ve reviewed the idea and moved it to Gaining Support, which means it’s now open for more votes and discussion. Community support plays a big part in helping our product team understand the need. We’ll update the thread if anything changes.

Xero Partner Hub | Clients - Option to email directly from Client list
Having the ability to email a client directly from the 'Search clients' area to avoid opening the client file.
If you search a client & click on the email in the column, there is a pop up just showing the email address again. This should be interactive so you can click on it & an automatic pop out to a new email opens, using your default program. Outlook in my case.
If I need to email multiple clients in a row, this method would be faster than opening each client file to automatically email then going back to search again,…8 votesHey LInda, thanks for raising this idea with us. Having the option to email a client directly from the client list in XPH is not something we have planned but we have moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can monitor votes and comments. Now all you need to do is share this with friends and colleagues to add their votes and comments!

AU Tax - Pull client date of death into return
It would be useful for the client date of death field to automatically be pulled into the relevant tax return if field to save manual look up and entry when entering client tax returns.
10 votesWe appreciate that with date of death now available as a field on a client record that some users would like to see this automatically pull through to the relevant tax return.
While we don't have direct plans of this right now we're keen to get a sense of interest in this from our partners in community.

AU Tax - Automatically pre-fill PAYG instalments paid or raised into tax returns
It would be good if Xero tax is able to prefill the PAYG Instalments paid/raised in the tax returns.
7 votesHi Sharleen, appreciate you raising this idea. We understand that having PAYG instalment details flow through to tax returns would help make the process smoother and reduce the need to manually check separate records.
We'll continue to track interest and engagement for our product teams to understand the value of improving how PAYG instalment information flows into tax returns.

Irish users - need company registration number field in Organisation data
There is no filed currently for company registration number (CRO number) in the practice organisation set up. Therefore, the templates do no include this number, and on invoices it pulls in the VAT registration number instead - which is incorrect.

AU Tax - Colour code signature status
Colour Code the status of the AS/Tax return to make it easier to quickly see as currently the screen is hard to see as it looks similar (for example returned green - out to sign orange etc etc)
2 votesHi Sheri, we understand the request to use colour coding for signature statuses in Xero Tax, so statuses such as Returned and Out To Sign can be identified more easily at a glance.
I’ve updated the status to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest. If this would improve your workflow, add your vote and let us know which statuses you’d find most useful to colour code.

AU Tax - Set a default for the tax agent field
I am hoping it might be possible to create a default for the Agent setting. If this were possible, when we add new clients onto XPM, the Agent field would default to our Agent details, as we only have one Agent to select from.
16 votesThanks for sharing your idea on setting a default for the Agent field in Practice Manager, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you. We appreciate you explaining how this could streamline your workflow, especially when working with a single agent.

AU Tax - AUSTRAC risk-rating tools for client profiles and reports
With all the new AUSTRAC reporting requirements coming soon is Xero adding any beneficial features to Practice Manager eg a Risk Rating box and any other reporting fields that might be helpful to be compliant with AUSTRAC and to reduce having to use additional software to keep track of these.
Are there any links to apps you suggest for this or what are other accountants using to assist with all this.5 votesHi Riki, thanks for raising this idea. We understand that having dedicated AUSTRAC compliance fields and risk assessment tracking within practice management workflows could be valuable as firms prepare for upcoming AML/CTF obligations.
The idea is to provide structured fields for capturing compliance information, such as client risk ratings, verification status, and review dates, helping practices manage these requirements directly within Xero Tax.
We encourage the community to vote on this idea if you'd find this compliance workflow improvement useful.

AU Tax - Show total Payable/ Refund amount on Activity Statement
The Activity Statements in Xero Tax need to have the total payable/refundable at the top of the screen like the Tax Returns do. It would be nice to see the result when you're on a different page than the summary page.
8 votesHi Rachel, thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.

Open reporting
Please open up the reporting options. The current set up is unnecessarily complicated by sectioning everything off but not having all of the relevant fields available for reporting &/or for setting the criteria. Just let us build our own reports using all the fields in the system. It is so inefficient, requires timely workarounds to combine different sets of data, or we flat out cannot get the information we need. It's very frustrating.

Xero Tax: Add Association of International Accountants as a choice. AIA is an FRC senior body along with Chartered.

Registered Address Field in XPH
Can we please have the ability to export our current Custom Field which is the Registered Office address directly into the new Registered Address Field in XPH, and then be able to choose that Registered Address Field in XPH in the Report Writer, that way we can bulk update the new field with the existing Registered Office addresses that we already have and also use it to run reports for Company Annual Returns

Dedicated Trading Name field within XPM
Summary of Feature Request
Please introduce a dedicated Trading Name field within XPM and make this field searchable, reportable, exportable, and available as a selectable column in client list views. The legal/client name should remain distinct and continue to be used for tax and BAS lodgement workflows. Since XPM and Xero are increasingly using a unified client record, accurate client master data is more important than ever.
Business Problem
Australian accounting and bookkeeping practices frequently work with clients whose trading names differ from their legal entity names.
Examples include:
Sole Traders
Legal Name: John Michael Smith
Trading Name: Smith Plumbing…

Clients - Reports that show number of clients in a group
When I view the groups in the client tab, then manage groups, it shows the number of clients in each group, but I cannot export that information, or I cannot report on the Group number of clients data.
Seems that this isn't a big issue to create a new field to add to the Group report for number of clients in each group, because the data is there...
2 votesThanks for sharing this idea. We understand the request to include the number of clients per group in reports for exports. Having this information available could make it easier to review client allocation and prepare practice reports.

XPM - Ability to Archive contacts
When we are archiving a client there should be the ability to archive the contacts (if they are not linked to an active client profile). Or at least be able to Archive them from the contacts page https://hq.xero.com/clients/contacts
Currently the only option is to edit or delete, deleting is not a great option should you need to follow revisit something in the future.
If you don't delete them, you are then left with the contact appearing in the suggestion list when trying to connect clients to a client profile.

Report Templates - Tier 3 Report update
Very disappointed to hear that you haven't considered how the new reporting standards for Tier 3 entities is going to effect the reporting templates i.e. the requirement to split grants into multiple sub-categories, which is only one area of the new reporting standards that needs to be expanded.
Would you be able to make this a high priority for the product team and provide a reasonable timeframe as to when this will be considered for further development as obviously we need to meet our obligations and your reporting mapping is no longer going to make this easy for us given…49 votesHi community, thanks so much for the great feedback so far. The changes to Tier 3 reporting standards - especially around grant categorisation are clearly important, and it’s great to see this idea gaining momentum quickly.
This request is now in the Gaining Support stage, so it’s on our radar for further consideration. If you’re using Tier 3 reporting, we’d love to hear more about what specific features or improvements would help you most. Your input really helps guide the product team’s priorities.
Please keep the votes and comments coming. We’ll be sure to share updates here as we learn more. Thanks again for being part of the conversation!

Xero Tax - What if function
It would be very useful if Xero Tax have a What-If function to test different tax outcomes before finalising a return.
18 votesHi YiLing thanks for sharing this idea. Currently Xero allows the ability to use draft returns and the "Estimate" tab for basic scenario testing. For complex scenarios, it is recommended to use ATO calculators and compare results manually. We will move this idea to Gaining support and monitor for more traction from users.

Prov Tax Payments Split between dates rather than left whole on the correct payment date in Schedule
We have noted that on the payment schedule of a tax return, when a payment is made that is more than the due amount for that date, the rest of the payment shows under the next payment date. Rather than showing the total amount under the one payment date. Is it possible we can have it so the full payment is just showing under the one payment date?
I do understand this requires traction before action, however - worth an ask.
