  2. US Tax: don't show tax rate for non-taxable items

    Why is Sales Tax showing as a % for Shipping when shipping is set as not taxable?

    I see there's a pop-up that says it's at 0% tax, but it's very confusing to the customer, showing a tax rate, and have explain that in fact Shipping Is not taxed

    Hi Arthur, is there a particular report you'd find this selection most useful for? It's unlikely we'd add this as a common date range across all reports at once - it'd be good to better understand the reports this would be most helpful for you on. Thanks

  4. Would it be possible to have the current P&L have the option to be formatted better? As I need to separate P&L for different accounts that have been created on the COA (tracking is not an option).

    When I make a blank report, I want to merge and follow the same format as the standard P&L, when I make a custom one, it looks terrible lots of additional lines and the headlines are to the right while the sub headlines are to the left. When I want to add a formula, I cant fully separate this and causes confusion for…

  5. It would be great if there could be an investment boost report that could be printed out to help isolate what assets have had this boost applied so the new IR10 requirement can be easily reported on. Or even if that column could be added to the existing Fixed Asset report to add in.

    IR10 requirement - Businesses must now record the total value of assets they have claimed Investment Boost for in Box 60 ‘Total value of Investment Boost asset(s) being claimed’.

  6. Disposals - Stuck at "Show Summary" - When disposing of an asset and you have not rolled back depreciation to the prior-financial year , only the prior-month; it would be helpful to the user if (1) an "error" message prompting the user to roll-back depreciation back to the prior financial year in order to proceed (2) the user would receive the error message at the time of pressing the "Show Summary" button . At the moment, if the depreciation was not rolled back far enough, the "show Summary" button remains on the screen with no prompt / no message as…

  7. When running the account transactions report, it would be nice to add a "reconciled" column when looking at bank accounts. This would make it much easier to identify which transaction is a duplicate or an error that has not already been matched. I know I could run the "Bank reconciliation" to view the unreconciled transactions, but with a client with high volume with integrations creating multiple invoices that are outstanding for a later deposit, this can be messy to review, and I would prefer just seeing everything in the account transaction report.

    Thanks for your feedback here, Amanda. Being open this isn't something we have plans for at present but will begin to track interest from your idea.

    Good to hear you're aware of the current option available. If there are any plans around expanding the Account Transactions report to surface this information we'll be sure to let you know here.

  8. Add tab toggling over 2 windows so that one can make back-end amendments and go straight back to reviewing an accounting report.

    To supplement month-end/year-end review and sign offs, add a feature for Review Comments and Tracking.

  11. New Zealand Inland Revenue Department requires reciepts to be signed by an authorised person. . This does not appear to be possible possible with Xero at present by inserting an electronic or jpeg signature. With a significant number of receipts our charity issues this can only be done manually and a scanned copy sent.

  12. When running reports, for the date range within the drop down, have 'last tax year' and 'this tax year' as options. Similar to the this and last financial year.

    Makes running reports for dividends, trivial benefits, payroll etc, much faster and better flow of information for accountants and clients.

    Should be a simple task for xero and will have a positive impact on all users.

    Hi Everyone, thanks for supporting this idea. It sounds like you're referring to how you can apply a date ranges to reports?

    Most reports in the UK version of Xero already allow you to set a range from the drop down, such as last/this month, last/this quarter, last/this financial year.

    Is there a specific report where you're not seeing this option?

  13. The Tax summary table in the tax return needs to show the 7th May provisional still owing as seperate to the remainder being due for terminal 7th April. Currently itt is grouped all in terminal meaning it is incorrect as doesnt show clients they need to pay an amount a year earlier

  14. Account Transactions report - add functionality to group by MONTH so that there is a visible break between the data / transactions shown between (for example) January 2026 and February 2026 (if the report is run for the period 1 January 2026 to 28 February 2026 in this example).

  15. Hi Xero Team,

    I would like to suggest a feature enhancement that would greatly benefit users in the Philippines.

    Currently, when generating reports (such as Transaction Reports, General Ledger, or Contact-based reports), there is no option to display the Tax Identification Number (TIN) and registered address of contacts as columns.

    Including TIN and address fields in report columns would significantly improve efficiency and accuracy in preparing BIR compliance reports such as:

    • SLSP (Summary List of Sales and Purchases)
    • QAP ( Quarterly Alphalist of Payees)
    • SAWT (Summary Alphalist of Withholding Taxes)

    At present, users need to manually extract or cross-reference this…

  16. To confirm, there isn’t currently a way to move the Supplementary income section so that it appears straight after the main Income section in the printed ITR.
    When using the new layout, Xero Tax does let you customise print settings, but this only lets you choose which main sections to print and reorder the sections that are available in the print pack, but it doesn’t let you change the internal order of the Individual return such as the Supplementary income section.

    This makes it difficult if you quickly want to look in the ITR and review all of the income…

  17. History on Fixed asset settings (the global settings that control depreciation rules) - If any changes are done to the default effective life or rate setting(applied to new assets) Xero does not log those setting changes in the History and Notes. Add a History tab within Fixed Asset Settings timestamped log of “effective life default changed from 5 years to 7 years”. Also if any changes are done to the default settings an option to bulk change all assets changed to the previous effective rate without manually editing them.

    Thanks for your idea, Imelda. Appreciate how this note in the history could be useful for businesses.

    This isn't something we have plans for right now, but make sure to share your idea with others that could benefit and we can get a better sense of demand here.

    In terms of the second request you've made we have another idea around bulk edit of assets that you may like to join and can stay updated of any progress through.

  18. It would be nice to be able to select "year to date" when choosing comparison periods of quarters or months on the balance sheet and profit and loss statements. Right now the only way to do so is to manually do the math on how many months back the fiscal year end began, which is especially inconvenient for entities with non-calendar year ends.

  19. Every new year tax year (1 April) the reports for the previous year that we are still using ie 31 March 2025 automatically change to the 31 March of the current year ie 31 March 2027 and the Last Financial year changes to 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026.
    In the drop down box for the Pack Date Range Custom would it be possible to add a Last financial year -1 so that it reads the date range for the previous year that we are still compiling for ie: Date range 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025.

    Thanks for taking the time to explain how you’re using the Pack date range and why you’d like a “Last financial year -1” option. This isn’t something we’re actively working on right now, so we’re moving your idea to Gaining support. This lets other partners and small businesses add their vote and specific scenarios, which helps our product teams understand how many people are impacted and how this should be prioritised alongside other reporting work.

    In the meantime, the best available workaround is to set the prior year using a Custom date range and reuse that report pack where possible.

  20. I am advocating for a graph showing cumulative revenue for each month of the year compared with past years.

    It is actually a simple graph to produce.

    It is quite a useful graph as it provides an early warning of what needs to be done now so that whatever needs to be done can be done within the time frame. An easier way to say this is that it provides early information in order for us to act on time.

    I only advocate that this be done for revenue only and not for anything else as the idea of the…
