  1. When preparing a personal tax return it would be great if there was as option to attach files in each section. So we can attach things like bank interest statement, P60, P11d, dividend vouchers, state pension, personal pension etc.

  2. Bank Reconciliation - With Separate Debit and Credit columns with their totals
    Currently both DR and CR amounts show in one column. Would love to see them in their own columns when reporting.

    Also, a larger description/reference area would be great.

    Hi Sousana, thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.

    We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. You may share it with your friends and colleagues who may also find this to be a useful addition to Xero. They will be able to add their votes and comments on it too.

  3. When adding a new client to Practice Manager or HQ and creating a Xero Organisation to link to said client, the basic Organisation details (e.g. ABN, contact details, address details) should automatically pull through to save double entry. This should also work vice versa, when you create the Xero Organisation with all the client's contact details, then create the client in Practice Manager or HQ and link the two, these details should pull through to the corresponding details in PM/HQ

    Hi Jordan, thanks for sharing your idea here. We understand how updating client details in separate systems can add extra admin time.

    A sync between Xero organisation details and Xero Partner Hub records could help keep information consistent and reduce manual update across your practice. We’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue monitoring interest and share the feedback with our product teams.


  4. When you run an account transaction report, for a balance sheet item, the opening balance always appears in the date column. It would be helpful if Xero could recode this so that the date column is balance date + 1, and the words "opening balance" appear in the source column. The advantage of this is that when you go to use the data, and put in a filter, you don't have to edit this.

    Hi Justine, thanks for sharing your feedback here regarding the Account transactions report. Appreciate the suggestion to improve the layout. We will move this idea to gain more support from the community so that other users who would also like to see this change can add their vote onto it. In the meantime, we'll monitor this space for traction.

  5. Ability to be able to override and enter manual figures in a partnership tax return. This is currently causing me a lot of issues as i now have to upload via other software.

  7. Edit the layout of account transaction reports (custom reports) or customise it so that the expenses ("Spend money") get subtracted from the income ("Receive money"). This would make custom reports endlessly more useful as they would show what profit or loss there is for each custom report.

  9. Aged Receivables/Payables Summary report to include invoice numbers by default, which is commonly available in other accounting softwares. It is crucial to know the number of invoices and unique invoice reference number for ease of reference when reviewing ageing.

  10. I would like the ability to stop repeat journals set to "post" from posting automatically and edit them to generate as "draft".

    I can't see a way to do this currently and have to delete and re-create which is tiresome

  11. There are a number of things bugging me regarding the essential task of reconciling bank accounts. The Bank Reconciliation Reports are easy enough to create, but after that it all goes wrong. Nobody seems to have thought about what happens to them after the 'Publish' button is pressed! Here's what I think - and please please please vote for this or nothing will change.

    1) I would like to see bank reconciliation reports having their own dedicated space. They are currently hidden away in Reports>Published, mixed up with all the other published reports. Please create a new Bank Reconciliation Reports…

  12. When pulling a Contacts report (expense by vendor, cash payments made to vendors, etc) out of Xero, please add the ability to "turn on" more fields from Contacts. For 1099 purposes, it's crucial to see "business entity" selections and "DBA names" (IRS-registered business name) when preparing the 1099 report. I know you can see this info within the 1099 report, but looking at one contact at a time is not efficient.

    Hi Nikki! Thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you. We can see why this feature would be useful when you want to see what entity type the contact is.

  13. Can a total be added under the amount on this report.
    If a total was available, I wouldn't need to export to excel simply to add a total before sharing the report.

    Ideally, the total would also apply to groups on the report, ie, total by employee and total for all employees.

    Thanks for letting us know you'd like the Transaction Listing Details Report to have a total per Employee and or Group when you filter the report by Group.

    As you've found, the report will only show itemised values. One work around would be to export the report to Excel or Google sheets and add a summary total manually. We'd also suggest taking a look at the Transaction Listing Summary Report.

  14. We deal with Overseas companies and subsidiaries, Xero does not have recognise Overseas company number usually starts with FC123456, Xero does no recognise this and create corporation tax return. This is another deficiency of Xero which makes me look at other software.

  15. Add the estimates section when downloading a copy of the Tax Return, to a full breakdown of the assessable income & tax owed. Usually I use pg 4 on a downloaded copy of a TR, but it does include a values in that section. it would be best to have a detailed summary that fits in 1-2 pages.

    Hi Patrick, thanks for sharing this idea and for clearly outlining how a more detailed breakdown of assessable income, deductions, offsets, and tax owed in the downloaded Tax Return would fit into your workflow.

    We’ve moved this idea into Gaining support. It’s now open for the wider community to add votes and comments, which helps us understand how useful this change would be across different practices. If others see value in this, they’re welcome to share how they’d use it.

    We’ll continue to monitor the feedback as it comes in.

  16. When Importing from Xero to Xero Tax (AU), there is a filter button to filter only PP or NPP labels (or Both).

    These are only relevant to Revenue and Expenses account types (and tax return labels).

    When I click PP or NPP and then move onto Assets/Liabilities/Equity, no Tax Return Labels show up in the drop down (because Xero Tax filters them out).

    Xero Tax SHOULD NOT filter out labels for Assets/Liabilities/Equity. There is no benefit and no efficiency for this behaviour. Xero Tax should return ALL labels for Assets/Liabilities/Equity whenever PP or NPP (or Both) is selected.

  17. To have the option to remove the draft bill feature when lodging your BAS through Xero. At the moment, the system automatically creates the draft bill when lodging your BAS and we are manually going back and deleting the draft bills.
    It would be great to have option to disable this feature

  18. Instead of having 2 separate reports for Aged Payables and Receivables, there should just be one report for each, and a drop down/toggle to switch between the detailed report and the summary report. Not the biggest deal, but would make things a lot more fluid and easier. Could be replicated across other reports too to simplify the process, and make the "reports" section much tidier and easier to navigate.

    In the meantime, did you know that you will find the detail/summary version of the report listed in the Related reports section of the left hand panel when running a report?

  19. Following the introduction to MTD for ITSA, we will be reporting a number of clients rental income to HMRC using Xero, which we previously did not. As a result of MTD for ITSA we will be preparing more Tax Returns using Xero Tax.

    It is currently not possible to import rental income & expenses, from a client's Xero account directly to Xero Tax (where as you can for sole trade businesses). Unfortunately these figures need to be typed in manually.

    Would it be possible to add this feature into Xero Tax?

    Thanks for sharing your idea of importing rental income into the personal tax return.

    We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it.

    It is worth noting that our MTD for IT functionality will include the option to include rental income/expenses and will utilise tracking categories to do this.

  20. I currently can't export the quarterly activitiy statement due to too many transactions so produce monthly reports via custom date reports, however there is no option here to include unfiled amounts and therefore the reports are not matching the quarterly statement amount.

    Appreciate your idea about BAS reporting, Michelle! It’s great to hear how including unfiled amounts in custom date reports could help with your audit workflow.

    We’ve moved your idea to Gaining support, so it’s now open for the community to vote on and discuss. The more you can tell us about how this would fit into your workflow, the easier it is for others to see why it matters and for the product team to understand the impact.

    Thanks again for getting the conversation started.
