Hi,
I was previously using MYOB just for payroll but have recently subscribed to Business Lite. For EOFY 2025/26, I have already entered my payroll in the old software so it has been reported to the ATO but I would like to manually reenter it in my new Business Lite software so that everything is in one place. How can I do this without reporting my earnings to the ATO for a second time?
Any help appreciated!
Many thanks,
Sandy
Hi SandyR,
Thanks for explaining. As your 2025/26 payroll has already been reported to the ATO from your previous MYOB payroll software, please don’t re-enter it as pay runs in MYOB Business Lite or send those figures through STP again, as this could duplicate the employees’ year-to-date amounts. For 2025/26, you should normally complete the EOFY finalisation in the original payroll software and keep those reports for your records. You can then set up MYOB Business Lite for the new payroll year and process future pays there.
If you need the earlier payroll history to appear in Business Lite, please contact our support team before entering anything manually. We can check the setup and confirm whether the previous BMS ID needs to be linked. If you’ve already entered the historical amounts in Business Lite, don’t send another STP report until this has been checked.
Regards,
Sai
Hi Sai,
I have started entering the EOFY 2025/26 pay runs into Business Lite but by creating journal entries so that it's not reported to the ATO. I'm hoping that's okay?
All STP reports were sent through the old payroll software that I had and that is where I finalised my EOFY payroll figures. I just want it to be all in one place so I don't mind manually re-entering in the new software.
Please let me know your thoughts on this.
Thanks,
Sandy R
Hi SandyR,
It makes sense to keep everything in Business Lite. Using a journal entry for this is okay, but we’d recommend checking with your accountant first to make sure it’s recorded correctly. As your 2025/26 payroll has already been reported and finalised through MYOB Payroll Only, you’ll just need to set up Single Touch Payroll reporting in Business Lite and enter your previous BMS ID. For more information, please check out this guide.
