Reporting - Add an internal review comments and query workflow feature inside reports
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.
1 voteHi everyone, thanks for sharing this suggestion. We understand you’re looking for an internal comment and query workflow within reports, so teams can discuss findings and review items without needing to move between different tools.
Having collaboration features built into reports could help make review processes more connected and keep conversations closer to the work being completed.
I’ve updated this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback and examples from the community.
Because this thread also packages a separate request regarding a tab-toggle layout to switch between report views, we ask that you create a new, dedicated idea for that specific navigation change so it can build its own support from the community

Reporting | PDF Preview - Enhance scroll and zoom behaviour
The PDF preview pane is fantastic... except a page can be lengthy and it doesn't let you scroll on it.
If I hover my cursor on the PDF preview and scroll (using the scroll wheel of my mouse), it zooms. I almost never need to zoom on it. If I needed to Zoom I would hold control and scroll, like I would on any other browser page.
I have to move my cursor to this skinny panel either side of the page to be able to scroll, or grab the skinny scroll bar (to the right, not the left).
Get…2 votesAppreciate your feedback, Sam. We don't have any immediate changes planned to the zoom and scroll behaviour of the reporting preview. For now we'll track interest your idea receives here and update if there's any progress around this.

NZ Tax - Separate 7th May Provisional Tax from 7th April Terminal Tax on payment summaries and letters
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
1 voteHi Gary, thanks for sharing this suggestion. We understand you’re looking for payment summaries and letters to show 7 May Provisional Tax and 7 April Terminal Tax as separate items, rather than combining them.
Having these tax obligations separated could make it easier to review amounts and communicate payment details to clients during busy compliance periods.
I’ve updated this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback and examples from the community.

AU Tax - Allow the Supplementary Income section to be printed directly after the main Income section in the ITR
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…
1 voteHi Carly, thanks for raising this idea.
We can see how placing the Supplementary Income section directly after the main Income section could create a more consistent reading flow and reduce the need to move back and forth between pages during reviews.
I’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest and share the feedback with our product teams.

GST default on a copied invoice defaulting to GST Inclusive / Incorrectly
A slight bug found - I just had a supplier ask why we had charged less for the last 2 months. I checked and it looks like Xero defaulted to "GST Inclusive" invoices when copying an invoice that is GST-Exclusive, even when:
1) the previous Invoice is set to "GST Exclusive"
2) the Financial settings, tax defaults, For sales is set to for"Based on last sale"
3) Note - No Contact defaults for GST set.Somehow, my $500 + GST invoices = $575 has been reduced to $500 including GST.
Previously Xero would copy over the invoice exactly, but now…
5 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing your feedback on this idea. We can see why this would be useful. We have reviewed this idea and can see that currently when you copy an invoice, the financial settings of the organisation take precedence over the settings from the original invoice. This idea is now in Gaining support status, which means it's open for community votes and comments while we monitor interest from users.

Report Templates - Add letters in Numbered Heading Section
Would love to see it as a feature so that we can add letters in Numbered heading section so we can link notes.
2 votesHi team, appreciate coming into Xero Support after our recent update here and apologies for any confusion.
To confirm, there is no way to add letters into 'Numbered heading' atm.
An option for now may be to add letters to the front of your schedule heading, however appreciate this this is a little different from the formatting you're trying to achieve here.
While this isn't something we have direct plans for right now, we'll start to get a sense of the wider interest from others in this here and share if there are any updates. Thanks

Quotes - Reporting with quoted hours by staff member per task
Report for quotes not yet accepted, which will show each staff members estimated/quoted hours per task.
1 voteHi Darren, thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you. We'll move this idea to gain more support from the community and monitor this space for traction. However, could you please provide some more clarity on what you mean by quoted hours by staff per task? Is this for a specific area like payroll or projects in Xero? Cheers

pack date range
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 2025.1 voteThanks 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.

Reporting | Profit & Loss - Ability to change headings in the report according to industry specific terminology
The statutory profit and loss account includes the wording "cost of raw materials and consumables" in the Cost of Sales section. This makes no sense for my clients in the service industry. Can we not have a tag named "Cost of Sales" or "Purchases" which is more generic and applies better to direct expenses attributable to sales in the service industry?

Auto sales tax - Ability to edit invoice with auto sales tax
This is a known issue that needs to be voted on to be prioritized.
The Auto Sales Tax feature in Xero (from Avalara) disallows the ability to edit an Invoice account category. This is a huge limitation that will have massive repercussions as time goes on. Please fix this promptly.
9 votesWe're grateful for your engagement and letting us know the changes that matter to you.
We request that each post is for a single idea, I've just split your one here so we can gather support for being able to edit the invoice or Find and recode transactions with sales tax separately - you'll find the other idea I created for you here

Disable or hide specific MTD for IT obligations, including the end of year update, from your client's view.

Giving Statements for Year End
It is crucial to be able to print or email statements to multiple or all contacts with received money transactions at once showing each received money transaction for the contact in a time period on individual/separate pages by contact. This is really needed functionality because any nonprofit entity needs to send giving/donation statements at year end. I have tried multiple reports and statements. I can create an Account Transactions report showing all the clients and the received money entries, but it doesn't allow me to separate contact on their own page. The functionality under Business and sending statements would be…

Xero Analytics - Cash flow forecasting customisation
More flexibility for cash flow forecasting - categorisation by account code, manual upload to edit upcoming items rather than one by one, customising summaries (like month end balances).
1 voteAppreciate you sharing how we could improve Cash flow manager, Vanisha. I've just split your idea into 2 so we can track the customisation and bulk update portions separately.
You'll find the idea for bulk updates across here.
If there are any updates planned for either of these we'll let you know on the respective idea. In the meantime share your idea with other colleagues that'd also find this useful to help build up the support in this. 🙂

AU Tax - Dropdown (or expandable lists) of Tax Return items within each section
Dropdown list of Tax Return items.
Hi Xero Team,
I’d like to suggest a possible enhancement to the Tax Returns section for easier navigation.
Would it be possible to add dropdowns (or expandable lists) that show all tax return items within each section, similar to the attached example? This would make it much easier to jump directly to specific items instead of scrolling through the full return.
For example, having a dropdown list for all income categories, deductions, offsets, and other tax return items would help users quickly locate the exact section they need, especially when reviewing or updating multiple…
1 voteHi Sailah, thanks for sharing your feedback here. We can see how long lists in tax returns can make navigation harder, especially as returns become more detailed.
A collapsible or expandable layout could make it easier to focus on the section you’re working on. We’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest and share the feedback with our product teams.

Short-term cash flow - Automatically include loan payments or bank transfers
It would be helpful if loan payments and bank account transfers were added automatically.
Adding these manually is time-consuming.

Reports - Option for All time / All dates to view all transactions
We need to be able to select "All Dates" on a report. ex. I want to see a report for a certain account from the start of my business to the current date. now I need to select beginning date and then todays date and the update.
15 votesThanks for sharing this great idea for improving efficiency in reports.
For anyone looking to achieve this now, you can view transactions across all time by selecting a custom date range in your reports. By setting the start date to your organisation's first transaction date and the end date to today, you can get a full historical view of your data.
We see the value in your suggestion to add a preset 'All Time' or 'All Dates' option, which would make this process a faster, one-click action.
To align with our new statuses for Xero Product ideas, we've updated the status of this idea here. We encourage everyone who would find this feature useful to keep voting and sharing comments. Learning more about the specific reports you'd use this for and how it would help your business helps our product team understand the potential impact.

Company Accounts (UK) | Ability to change default format of Director names
We have been using the New Financial Accounts FRS102 IA template in Xero Business. Here are our feedback notes. In case anyone else is having the same issues.
We had a resignation of a Company secretary and in the period. It does not show resignation date. Also the formatting of the directors name is interesting to say the least. Not a normal format. Last name first.I'll note that the program is significantly easier to use than the current company accounts and tax module. But still needs work around processes.
1 voteThanks for sharing this idea 🙂
We’re moving it to Accepted, as this is something the team has planned. While we don’t have an ETA to share right now, it is on the roadmap and we’ll update this idea when there’s more to share.

Auto sales - Ability to find and recode transactions with auto sales tax

Appreciate hearing why you'd like to be able to change the account for invoices that have auto sales tax.
