Thanks for this feedback on how pension enrollment currently works in Xero payroll. It’s been a little while since you raised this idea, so we wanted to check in. We can see this idea has been steadily gaining support. Our product team are keeping an eye on this idea and we will continue to share updates as things evolve.
In the meantime, here's a tip to trigger pension assessment before posting the pay run:
- With the pay run in draft click Post.
- When the Automatic pension enrolment pop up displays, click Confirm.
- On the Complete Pay Run pop up, click Cancel.
- You can now open the draft payslip or download pay run reports with the pension deductions included.

Hi everyone, thanks for all of your engagement with this idea. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts on being able to claim previous year's employment allowances in Xero.
We understand this would save time and provide a more complete payroll solution.
As noted by others in this thread, the current workaround is to process prior year claims using HMRC's Basic PAYE Tools.
We've reviewed our upcoming development roadmap, and at this time building the functionality to process prior year Employment Allowance claims is not in our immediate pipeline.
We will keep this idea under consideration for future development, and should our plans change, we will provide an update here.

This is a common problem, and is easily fixed in other software providers.

Hi team, thanks for the support and interest this idea has gained. Though we appreciate the value auto calculating VAT using the marginal scheme would be for those that need it, we want to be transparent here that this isn't in our roadmap.
Currently, it's possible to adjust VAT on invoices and credit notes - If you set the transaction to Amounts are 'Tax exclusive' and make sure the Tax Amount column is shown you'll be able to click into this field and edit the amount as needed for each line of your invoice - we have more detail on this in Xero Central.

Hi there, thanks so much for your patience. At the moment, the P32 Employer Payment Record in Xero shows the full tax year and breaks this down by each tax month within the same report. It isn’t currently possible to generate or export the P32 for just a single month.
Not getting a lot of support from other members, so we’ll soon remove this from Product ideas. If this functionality remains important for your business, you’re very welcome to raise a new idea so others can add their votes and comments. This helps our product team understand how many customers would benefit and how to prioritise future improvements.

Thanks for sharing your idea, we understand sometimes employees need access to payslips beyond 14 days after their leaving date.
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!

Hi everyone, thanks for sharing how important streamlining P45 distribution is for your payroll workflow.
It’s not currently possible to send P45’s directly from Xero. Our product team is actively exploring ways to enhance employee self-service features. While specific plans for this feature are not yet finalised for the immediate roadmap, this area remains a key focus for future development. We've moved this idea to Accepted.
We'll keep you posted if anything changes. In the meantime, you can download P45s from Xero and send them via your usual email software.

Hi everyone, thanks for sharing your feedback on payroll tracking. We understand some of you want to see gross wages, tax and super broken down by department and timesheet categories.
In May 2025 we released an update which allows super and leave to be allocated to employee groups, which helps track full wage expenses across departments or cost centre.
As you’re aware, our timesheet reports can be filtered by tracking categories, however the reports summarise hours rather than a total wage breakdown.
We've shared this idea with our product team. We really appreciate the feedback however further payroll tracking features are not in the near term roadmap so we'll update the status to Not in Pipeline at this time.
We’ll continue to monitor your interest and feedback as we plan future improvements to Payroll reporting.

Appreciate your input here, everyone. Our team is aware of the challenges our partners are facing around the auto-reversal of negative balance. It’s on their roadmap to investigate and provide a better user experience.
For the time being, I’ll move this idea into ‘Under review’ status. And when there's movement, we'll make sure to come back here and let you all know.Helen Christopher

Hi team, we totally get how bulk updating amounts on repeating invoices would help speed up the process and accuracy in amounts going out for regular customer sales.
Our product team is beginning to explore repeating invoices and the future of how we support these type of regular transactions. As part of this they're carefully considering popular ideas that have been raised by our community. We’ll come back to share further updates, once they’ve got a good handle on where this works stems.

Our client has just gone VAT registered, and needs to add VAT to 150+ repeating invoices - got to break the news to him that he will have to do them all individually.

Hi everyone, thanks for sharing your feedback. We appreciate you explaining how important access to reports on draft pay runs is for your workflows, especially for client approvals and pre-submission checks.
Our product team is currently looking into payroll reporting improvements as part of a wider review, however adding additional reports to draft pay runs is not something that’s on their foreseeable roadmap.
Currently you can download payslips, P32 and Payroll Activity Details/Summary reports from draft pay runs. These provide a breakdown of employee earnings and employer liabilities, which can be used for pre-checks before submitting your pay run to HMRC.
Please continue to support other ideas, as this helps our product teams know what's important to you.

Hi everyone, we appreciate your patience & would like to thank everyone who’s shared their thoughts and supported this idea.
Xero's payroll reports do currently offer some options to adjust columns, filters & layout. However we hear & understand the need for having additional information & more flexibility with payroll reporting, including the ability to customise & save reports for future use.
Being open here, these improvements are not in our current pipeline. However we'll use this feedback to shape how we plan future improvements in Xero Payroll reports.

It would be useful to be able to print a gross to net payroll summary before posting the payroll.
We prepare payroll for clients and they don't really like to detailed report as it is long-winded, but like to see a summary of each employee's gross to net pay to check before confirming that they are happy for us to post the pay run.Helen Christopher

Hi everyone, we appreciate the input that you’ve all contributed to this idea, and understand the extra work coding a bank transaction to the wrong account can create.
To be upfront, this idea is currently Not in the pipeline. While we see the value this feature can bring, it's not something the product team is actively working on or planning in the near future.
In the meantime, the current workflow using the Remove & Redo feature allows you to delete the transaction from the incorrect bank account and re-enter it in the correct one.
We know this isn’t ideal, but it’s the most reliable option for now.
We’ll continue to monitor votes on this idea. Your support helps us better understand where improvements are most needed.

We are finding that clients require more flexibility in user roles. For example a client wants an employee to carry out invoicing only, but that employee also needs to be able to print a sales report at the end of the day.
We always send draft to client to check before posting the pay run. They tend to pay the staff and then tell us it's OK to post. Embarassing to then have to go back to them to say they've overpaid because someone has been auto enrolled.....
