PTRS changes in recent release 2025.1

Hi all,

I've just installed and set up the latest MYOB version for an Australian customer who uses PTRS (Payment Times Reporting Scheme). According to the release notes, this version includes the necessary updates to comply with the latest Australian Government changes.

From a consultant’s perspective, I’d like to confirm the following:

Aside from upgrading the software and database, is there anything additional we need to implement or configure for PTRS to comply with the new reporting requirements?

Will the client notice any changes in the reporting layout or structure, or are the updates primarily behind-the-scenes (i.e., changes to how figures are calculated)?

We’ve tested the report in both the old and new versions using the same date range, and the report layout appears identical. In many cases, the figures look the same as well — which makes me wonder if the updates are mostly around compliance logic, rather than presentation.

What kind of testing or validation can the client perform on their side to ensure the report is compliant with the latest government requirements? Are there any examples or key differences we should be pointing them to?

Any clarification or confirmation from MYOB or other consultants would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.
