Branch ID

Question

Hello,

I'll have to change branch ID to match with that on the ATO business portal

On MYOB file, the GST branch number is 1 ( not 001); the branch ID on the ATO business portal before the Branch change was 001; the branch ID on my income statement on my MyGov account is shown as 001

Now our branch ID has changed to 002 as on the ATO business portal. So should I put the branch ID on MYOB to 2 or 002? if I put it as 002, would it become 00002 when arriving at the ATO side , hence fail to match with the branch ID on the business portal?

Hi @Le_Trinh,

Thanks for laying all that out. I know the whole branch-ID business can feel like a bit of a maze, so good on you for double-checking it. Since the ATO  has your new branch showing as 002, you'll want to pop the same 002 into MYOB. No dramas there, MYOB won't turn it into some wild "00002" on the ATO's end. It'll send it through exactly as 002, so everything lines up nicely with what's shown in your Business Portal.

Regards,

Sai
