Hi everyone, thanks for all the context you’ve shared on how this impacts your workflows. We understand how a simple in-product setting for showing delivery address on an invoice would improve efficiencies for you all here.
Currently, the best option remains to insert the ContactPhysicalAddress merge field/s with the use of an advanced invoice template.
However as part of a larger piece of work we’re doing to develop multiple addresses per contact within invoices, this is an idea we’ll be solving for.
We can’t provide definite timeframes but will shift to In development and share further news as it progresses with you all here!

Hi everyone, we've got a bit of an update we'd like to share with you all here.
Some of you may have already seen, following the closure of CATO, we’re launching a new simple accounts production & tax solution for small businesses. This'll be available as a paid annual add-on from August 2026.
With this solution you’ll be able to file your micro company accounts and corporation tax returns directly to HMRC from inside Xero, using data from your organisation in one simple flow.
The feature doesn’t replace the more powerful, flexible tools you use with your accountant or bookkeeper. If your advisor files on your behalf, nothing changes.
This solution is for small business owners handling their own corporation tax, this means less time wrestling with separate tools and a simpler, more streamlined way to stay compliant.
If your tax needs get more complicated or you need more support,…

Xero, there are many things that you have gotten right, but there are a few areas you have completely wrong. This is one of them.
Please make it a priority to sort out Corporation Tax - it is quite unbelievable because it means small businesses have to pay extra money and spend extra time getting filing done.
What I find annoying is that I cannot compare my official Company House accounts with my Xero P&L as standard. I don't have time as suggested by Xero Help to make a custom P&L report, why should I, when the concept of taxable and non-taxable income / expenses is a core accounting principle.
@Xero leadership, make this a priority and get this fixed asap!
PS Separately Xero has completely messed up Fixed Assets. After all my complaining one year ago, Xero finally made an attempt to make Fixed Assets better, but there is along way to go. So it appears that Xero will actually put attention to issues where customers complain alot and loudly. So I would recommend to all small businesses, complain as loud as you can on this issue, and we might actually get this done.

Hi all, we wanted to round back here to share for those in the UK that we've now added the ability for you to create a short transition period (between 1 month and 12 months long) when changing the Financial Year End date.
To recap for anyone new coming across the idea - Aligning with the UK basis period reforms we've made a change to Financial settings so you can add start and end dates to different periods. This change impacts multiple areas of Xero.
- Fixed assets will draw on this information, to prevent any loss of historic information when your year end changes. Everything will automatically be calculated for you based on the period start and end dates you set in Financial Settings.
- The same applies in Reporting. All historic reports will be protected. And you’ll have accurate comparison periods even across varied financial years.
- In Xero Tax,…

Please get this done immediately. Xero cannot possibly have such a brutal approach to change of year end dates. The rework required for small businesses is unacceptable. There are much more important reasons to change the year end date than a major software flaw by Xero.
I consider this as a major design issue that needs immediate fixing. At the very least, depreciation should not be reversed beyond the last financial year.

Hey Xero, this is so basic that it is criminal this is not available. Having a switch on a contact to enable both Invoice + Delivery address on a invoice is critical. A switch is critical because some customers will always have the same delivery and invoicing address. However, some don't, and some customers want additional information in the invoicing area for their own accounting reasons. Xero please get this sorted - it cannot be hard.
