******************
Australian MYOB Tax Table update completed ready for
July 1st, 2010
$52.00
******************
Figures loaded
from resulting Budget 2010 Tax Table Updates issued by the
Australian Taxation Office for payments made after
01.07.2010
THIS UPDATE IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH
MYOB Accounting Plus v14 THROUGH TO CURRENT
and
THE TAX TABLE UPDATE IS NOT COMPATABLE WITH
MYOB PREMIER v8 THROUGH TO CURRENT
As
most MYOB users would be aware, in order to obtain the
update Tax Tables from MYOB users
must pay an annual subscription to "MYOB Cover". MYOB package the
support subscription with the current version of their software, which
is available directly from MYOB for $595.00 or from retail outlets from
around $500.00.
Unfortunately
for those that only require the Tax Tables without support there is no
alternative to the full package.
MYOB
announced in January 2007 it will no longer support any version of it's
software which are now more than 2 versions preceeding the current
version, a further announcement in January 2008 added to
the deleted support list any version older than 3 years old.
Subscribing
to MYOB Cover in effect results in an upgrade to the current version
of the software, which may not suit all users of the software. Some
users, like me, are quite happy with the older versions and aside from
Tax Table support happily
have no ongoing need for the support packages nor the newer upgraded
versions of the software. I personally, had never contacted MYOB
support.
Version
13 is the last version of MYOB which contains a text file based Tax
Table which is user amendable. As such my updated Tax Table
files will only
function with
Accounting Plus v13 or older, and Premier v7 or older.
(ie Versions 14 and 8 respectively through to current will not benefit from this update)
A reversion to Version 13+ or Premier v7 will enable the use
of this Tax Table update.
From
Accounting Plus Version 14 onwards, MYOB have written the Tax Table file in a coded
format which serves to frustrate any efforts to manually update it,
along with I imagine setting up a claim of copywrite over the
contents. With over 700,000 businesses world wide using MYOB and
requiring the Tax Table updates in it's accompanying Support Package .... a
very clever move that creates a multi million dollar income stream.
MYOB
software has without doubt developed into an impressive and
sophisticated stable of programs, and Version 18 encompasses some very
impressive and dazzling functions and options if you have a business
that can utilise that sophistication. Many users have no use for any
more than that basics that is provided by what their
older versions
offer. Some users are just happy to stick with what they know and what
they have.
I
have downloaded and test driven the Accounting Plus Version 17 (demo) and from
the perspective
of my own needs I found it basically the same in looks and function as
Accounting Plus Version 13 with no additional features that would be of much use to me.
The
tax table file within MYOB has to comply with the Tax Office figures
and has to contain those figures exactly as released. The MYOB file in
Version 13 and older is
relatively easy to update manually with a text editor from the figures
published by the Australian Tax Office.
The
updating I do to the file is not overly complex nor is there any secret special
computer nerd magic, or fairy dust, it is merely time consuming. Updating is not only
easily possible, with a little knowledge, patience and drive it can be
achieved by mostly anybody. The $52.00
I charge for the updated file
would equate to couple or hours of time for someone to
manually do it
themselves.
I
update the file for my own use as the need arises, and because there is
no other option for users not wishing to upgrade, I'm offering
my updated tax table file for $47.00 to anyone who wants it.
I've amended the file over the years for my own personal use, which is
still the case. The file was never amended singularly for the purpose
of sale.
I've
tested the update in a coupe of older Accounting Plus Versions which has worked fine. Previous version MYOB files are
basically identical in format to the tax file in MYOB Acounting Plus Ver 13.
Although I havent checked other MYOB products which contain a payrole module such as Premier, I have little doubt those products would benefit for the update so long as the product is the same Version era or older than the Accounting Plus 13 equivalent which was released in 2003.
I
have only adjusted the table applicable for my own use, which is
limited to the 8 general tables as listed below simply because I dont
require the additional tables.
| No tax free
threshold claimed |
| Tax free threshold
with leave loading |
| Foreign residents |
| No TFN resident |
| No TFN non resident |
| Full Medicare
exemption |
| Half Medicare
exemption |
| Tax free threshold
no leave loading |
By
purchasing the file you acknowledge and accept that I offer the file
without any warranty or claim, athough I'm happy to discuss issues and
offer suggestions if I can.
The
Tax Table file I offer is the same Tax Table I use
myself.
I have updated the file many times over the years
and file
certainly works for me and I'm using it in a practical business
environment.
I'll
provide simple easy to read instructions for it's application and use,
and they are written for people with only basic computer knowledge. I
include a
copy of the applicable sections of Tax Office table along with instructions on how to check the
function
and accuracy
for your own peace of mind prior to use.
No
actual changes are made the MYOB software as such. The changes made
relate only to the Tax Table figures MYOB calls upon to calculate PAYG
payments.
An
important point to mention is that by
following the simple intructions, the changes made by using the updated
Tax Table are not permanent and are completely reversible at any time.
When reading the instructions I have included explanations to describe
the processes to alleviate any possible fear and
apprehensions.
I
do suggest you follow these instructions to double check the figures
against a tax table for your own peace of mind. I may be able to
provide limited other tax categories.
I'm also interested in obtaining or purchasing original copies of Version 13+ or older for redistribution with the current Tax Tables. If you have any copies, please let me know.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
The update was written specifically for the Windows release of Accounting Plus Version 13 (my version). Although it does work in older versions of Accounting Plus, and does also work in other MYOB products released before 2004, please note my aim is simply to cost effectively keep my own Version 13 upto date and not provide broad ranging support accross the entire range of MYOB products.
I know nothing about the Mac versions of MYOB, but if you would like me to check the Tax Table Update for Mac, drop me a line and Ill have a look.
USE THE EMAIL FORM LINK BELOW TO LET ME KNOW YOU HAVE MADE PAYMENT AND THEN MAKE $52.00 PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL. I WILL FORWARD THE FILE AND INSTRUCTIONS BY RETURN EMAIL
and
pay by paypal below.
