AU Tax - Ability to customize default address details on tax returns
I've discovered that in the new Xero when you create a tax return for a new client it defaults to agent address and agent trust account for refunds. Given the new AML laws, we do not want our account as the default. Can we either have the ability to change what addresses and bank accounts are set too by default or have them both changed to client?
1 voteThanks for bringing this to the community. We understand the request for more flexibility over the default address details populated when creating tax returns.
As there’s already a similar idea covering the default refund bank account, we’ve transferred your vote to that idea so community support is captured in one place.
We’ve updated this post to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback on the remaining request.

Reporting - Time stamp visible while editing
When in the report editor, it would be good to be able to see a timestamp showing when the last save was.
At the moment, you cannot see when the last save was until you exit the report.
1 voteHey Melody we appreciate you bringing this idea to us, its great to hear about the changes you would like to see in Xero and how meaningful they are. This is now open to the wider community and you can share with with friends and colleagues so they can vote and share their own experiences as well. We will monitor the community support and post any updates here.

Company Accounts - Allow Administrator Access to company accounts and corporation tax filing (not just subscriber)
Many business owners/directors do not actually do their own accounting, preparation of accounts or corporation tax returns yet they are probably the subscriber to XERO.
I think the company accountant/bookkeeper should be allowed access to this area as the people that I do accounts and tax returns for would have no idea how to manage this area of Work and yet they’re the subscribers - the only people who have access to it. This is illogical.1 voteThanks for sharing this idea ⭐
We understand that limiting Company Accounts and Tax access to the subscriber can make it difficult for other trusted users, such as staff or accountants, to help prepare and manage filings. Allowing the subscriber to grant access to selected users would provide greater flexibility while keeping control with the organisation. It would also be helpful if other users could view, vote on and comment on the idea, so teams can share their feedback and show wider support.
We'll keep this feedback in mind as we continue improving the experience. We'll start to get a gauge of the support for this from your idea, here.

Reports - Advanced dynamic reporting builder with multi-table joins and custom calculations
Dynamic reporting. So users are able to select tables and can join multiple tables, add mathmatical functions and but date and fileters in this dynamic report. This way and average joe don't need to setup pipelines for simple repoting. The option to drag and drop ccolumns would be super helpful. Take field glass reporting as an example. Scheduling features to all of the reports would be a game changer, then suddnely, users can setup piplines through Xero GUI instead of tinkering with the API to get this working.
1 voteThanks for bringing this to the community. Having a visual reporting builder with greater flexibility around data sources, and calculations formula could reduce the need to move data into spreadsheets or other reporting tools.

Reporting - Combine Contact Transactions Summary and the Supplier Bill Activity reports
please add "Contact Cash Activity" / "spent Money and receive Money transactions" to "Supplier Bill Activity". i want to have everything in one place. it is extremely time consuming and tedious to keep switching between reports.
1 voteThanks for raising this idea with us! ⭐ We understand you would prefer to see this information in one place, the spend money transactions alongside a supplier’s bills. Currently you do need to switch between reports. Others can now Vote and comment on this idea and we’ll start to get a gauge of the support for this from your idea, here. ✨

Xero Version - Add Sweden as a version
Please launch Xero in Sweden. I use Xero for a large UK company and find it far better than the Swedish accounting systems I use for several Swedish companies. The difference in usability, reporting and integrations is huge.
I know many Swedish businesses and accountants that would switch if Xero properly supported Sweden, including Swedish VAT, the BAS chart of accounts, bank feeds and local reporting requirements.
There is no need to localise the interface into Swedish. English is widely used in Swedish business, and many people actually prefer English for software.
1 voteThanks for bringing this to our attention Carl. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts on having a Swedish version of Xero🙂.
This idea is now open for votes and comments. Feel free to share it with friends and colleagues who’d also like to see this, as their feedback can help us understand the level of interest from the community.
We’ll keep a pulse on the interest this idea receives and share if there are any updates here.

Payroll AU: Set Date range for Payment Summary Details report
Can we run Payment Summary Details report monthly. Currently available annually

Fixed Asset - Export Registry in PDF or Excel format
Please make it possible to actually print or export a fixed asset registry to PDF or Excel. Not CSV. There is no use for the CSV at all? Except may if you import to another set of books.
But for reported and editing purposes you want it in either pdf or excel to sort quickly. No one has time to work through a CSV File!!! for quick reporting purposes.
1 voteThanks for raising this suggestion, Annelie. Being able to export the Fixed Asset Register directly to PDF or Excel could make it easier to use the report for year-end reviews and client reporting.
In the meantime, opening the CSV export in Excel or utilizing the Asset Summary report remains the most practical workaround.
I’ve moved this post to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback. If you regularly export the register, let us know which format you’d use most and how you’d like it presented.

AU Tax - Master Chart of Accounts Mapping for Tax Return Imports
Allow the Import from Tax function to be mapped at the master level to a Master Chart of Accounts, this would enable account mappings to be consistent and eliminate additional entry and review time in the first year, with only new accounts being addressed.
1 voteThanks for bringing this idea to the community. We understand the request for Import from Xero mappings to be managed centrally through the Master Chart of Accounts rather than configured separately for each client.

Statement of Cash Flows - Option to exclude Credit Card accounts from Cash and Cash Equivalents
Credit cards are setup to enjoy the benefit of bank feeds. But under reporting standards they are treated as trade payables. So that means at year end a work around needs to be added. Is there any chance you could setup the report so as to exclude credit cards? For those that need it the work around is
At the core is Xero’s faulty treatment of credit cards.
If we take the approach credit cards are trade payables (as per accounting standards) and not akin to an overdraft, then the work around for the cash flow statement becomes as follows.…

Manual Journals - Date shortcuts to work with pre-entered date
When you use a date shortcut (eg +7) it DOES NOT WORK when using manual journals.
Here's a video demonstrating the problem: https://www.loom.com/share/6f035e84ebce42cab95c67dbbe65a608
I posted this feedback a few days ago and the reply from Xero admin was the function does work as designed, and since the thread is now closed, I've reposted with a video of me using the date shortcuts and demonstrating how they don't work.
1 voteHi TJ, thanks for sharing the short video - I can see what you mean here.
To clarify how date shortcuts work in Manual Journals, they’re based on the current date rather than any date already entered in the field. If Xero doesn’t recognise the shortcut you’ve entered, it defaults to today’s date.
If you want to enter a date from a previous month, the shortcut to use is “Date in a month”, as shown in our help table. For example, 8/Jun or 6/8 would enter 8 June 2026.
I understand the behaviour you’d prefer, so I’ve slightly amended the title of your idea. This isn’t something we have plans of developing for shortcuts at present but we’ll start tracking interest in this date shortcut behaviour from your post.

Budget Variance Report - Dynamic Actuals YTD plus remaining Budget forecast comparison
The ability to compare two budgets is available but I want to be able to compare a full year forecast that is comprised of actuals YTD Plus budget for the remaining periods with the full year overall budget , this doesn't appear to be possible. Comparisons actual month v month budget, actual YTD v Budget YTD and Actual YTD+Budget v Full Year Budget are a standard requirement and currently not possible in XERO.
1 voteThanks for sharing this idea, Lorna. We understand the request to add a full-year forecast column to the Budget Variance report that automatically combines actuals year-to-date with the remaining budget for the year.
This would allow users to compare their projected full-year result against the original full-year budget directly in the report, without manually combining actuals and remaining budget figures.

Reports - Cash basis income and accrual basis expenses on Profit and Loss report
For clients needing income tax done on a cash basis, the expenses needs to still be on an incurred basis. A Profit & Loss report is need to reflect this situation.
1 voteThanks for putting this forward. A Profit and Loss report that combines cash-basis income with accrual-basis expenses could be useful where the reporting treatment differs between income and expenses.

Payroll AU: Employee Remuneration report tally to exclude header in total count
Summary items tally at the bottom of the report page incorrectly includes the header - meaning the tally is always one to many. For example the Payroll employee summary report, or any report, for 3 staff in total will say 4 items at the bottom. A quirk that means your quick view of a report is always out by one. A quirk that can be removed as the tally is wrong and therefore no value.
1 voteThanks for sharing your idea, I can see how relying on the report's line tally could result in an additional employee included in the count.
We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. Make sure you share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit so they can add their vote too!
Along with votes, other members can now comment to share additional detail about how your idea could improve their experience with Xero.

AU Tax - Automatic Medicare Levy and Medicare Levy Surcharge schedule updates
I would like an advance schedule for medicare levy to check through whether they were full time in the defence force or foreign person etc.
and a schedule for medicare levy surcharge to input the date periods + to confirm if spouse/dependents had private health insurance
1 voteThanks for sharing this idea. We understand the request for automated Medicare Levy exemption and Medicare Levy Surcharge schedules in Xero Tax.
We've updated the status to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest. If this could help your workflow, add your vote and let us know which Medicare Levy or surcharge calculations you'd find most useful to have automated.

MTD for IT - Income and Expense Report with Clients name
I am sure this is a design flaw that will be corrected shortly as its astonishing to see, the quarterly income and expenses PDF report needs an identifying name on the report. Once saved not in Xero it does not have anything on it to identify it.
This needs rectifying with haste.1 voteThanks for sharing this idea. We understand how useful it would be for exported MTD for IT Income and Expenses reports to clearly identify the relevant client or business, particularly when reports are saved or shared outside Xero.
We’re moving this idea to Gaining Support so we can gauge interest across the Xero community. If this would improve your workflow, please vote for the idea and share more detail about how you use the report and what information you’d like to see included in its title or header.
Community feedback will help us understand the impact of this request and inform our review. We’ll share updates here as the idea progresses.

Reporting - Display Accounting Basis (Cash/Accrual) options prominently instead of under More options
Hi Xero Team,
I'd like to suggest a small user interface improvement that would significantly improve the reporting experience.
The Accounting Basis (Cash vs Accrual) fundamentally changes the meaning of reports such as the General Ledger, Trial Balance and GST reports, yet it's currently hidden under the "More" menu.
As a business that reports GST on a cash basis, I recently spent several hours reconciling my BAS, General Ledger and Trial Balance because I unknowingly compared reports prepared on different accounting bases. Once I discovered the hidden setting and changed the report to Cash, every figure reconciled immediately.
The Accounting…
1 voteThanks for bringing this idea to the community. We understand the request to make the Cash or Accrual basis option more visible when viewing financial reports. A prominent indicator could help reduce confusion when reviewing or sharing reports with clients.

NZ Tax - Change colour of 'Finalised' and 'Filed with IR' pills
Both the 'Finalised' and 'Filed with IR' boxes are the same colour, and both pieces of text start with 'F'. Twice, I have experienced glitches where I file the return with IR, it appears to have been submitted, but the status simply changes to 'Finalised'. Would it be possible to change the colour of one to a different colour, to help highlight the different states? Or change the text from Finalised to something like 'Approved/Ready to Submit'. I understand this is minor, and partly user-based, but I do think it could be helpful. Thanks!
1 voteAppreciate wanting colour differentiators for these two states, Nicola.
We'll start to get a wider sense of the interest around this here, and I'll make sure to share if there's any plans made.

Report - Combined contact statement showing both receivables and payables outstanding
Contact statement showing payables and receivables outstanding with detail of outstanding items. Currently have to run 2 separate reports where a customer is also a supplier.
1 voteHi Sam, thanks for sharing this suggestion. A combined statement showing both receivables and payables could help to review the overall position for contacts who are both customers and suppliers.
