Getting started with MYOB Practice tax

MYOB Practice tax lets you prepare and lodge tax returns online. With a streamlined experience, you can access your tax software anywhere, at any time.

To start using MYOB Practice tax (AU), you'll need to perform some one-off tasks. This will enable your practice with collaboration tools with your clients such as client portals, digital signatures, and our latest Documents features.

Some of these steps are done in MYOB AE/AO, and some in MYOB Practice. You'll only need to do this once before moving your first tax return.

Check the What's new page for all the latest features. For example, info on tax changes.
