I'm just over paying $450 a year or whatever for MYOB's tax tables! So I didn't subscribe again. I was planning to just send my accountant the end-of-year files in the old 2007 Software for the next 5 years or so, and guess what? I can't figure out how to manually change the tax on our 2 paycheques per month. It doesn't seem to let me.
I'm over it. I can't wait for someone like Apple to add an MYOB thing to iWorks or iLife. Call it iBooks if you wish. They could have an international core double entry book-keeping system that then has national tax and accounts plans to download and add-on.
Or when is Open Source finally going to take over this genre and we get the software for free? The tax department could then issue some basic open source book-keeping software updates. It's not like replacing Photoshop with it's 60 million lines of code... it's just book-keeping! Makes me fairly cranky.
MYOB seems to be just too expensive for what I'm getting. |
Hi Eclipse,
It sounds like you are using the wrong MYOB software - you probably should be using simply MYOB Accounting.
This is however based on the very limited information that you have left on your post.
If there is only two of you I would not bother with the tax tables and would manually calculate it from the ATO PAYG Withholding calculator (that you can download for free)
I would continue to use the software that you have - you can still use all the other timesaving features, bank recs, importing bank statements, exporting payments, BAS Link, company data auditor etc.
I have clients like you who have not upgraded payroll for the last 5 years, never pay MYOB any more money, and still get many of the great features that come with the software.
If you are not using it (but I think you should) de-register it and sell it on ebay!
