Task Template

Hi everyone,

We are currently handling Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) work for our clients using MYOB AO / MYOB Online.

However, we have noticed that there is no standard FBT template available within MYOB Online for client communication or approval purposes. We prepare the FBT return in MYOB Online, but then send it to clients manually; alternatively, we use our own template which needs to be manually pasted into the description.

Just wanted to check with others:

  • How are you managing FBT client approvals in MYOB AO / MYOB Online?
    • Are you using any standard templates, workarounds, or integrations?
    • Is there any way to automate this process within MYOB that we might be missing?

Would really appreciate any suggestions or best practices from other firms.

Thanks in advance!

  • Hi, 

    Thanks for raising this.

    At the moment, there isn’t a standard FBT template available in MYOB Online for client communication or approval. This has already been raised with the product team and is currently in the enhancement stage.

    In the meantime, the current workaround is to manually enter or paste your preferred template each time when sending FBT to clients, as you’ve been doing.

    We understand this isn’t ideal, especially during busy FBT periods, and appreciate your patience while this is being considered for future improvements.

    If there are any updates or changes, they’ll be communicated through official MYOB page - What’s new in Practice Compliance

    Thanks again for sharing your feedback.

    Hello Laxmi,

    Thank you for your response and for acknowledging the concern.

    However, I would like to highlight that this is a time-sensitive compliance requirement. FBT is a known and recurring obligation each year, and ideally, such functionality should have been implemented in advance. As a compliance software provider, MYOB would be well aware of upcoming FBT periods and the practical needs of agents.

    The current workaround of manually pasting templates is quite inefficient, especially during peak lodgement periods, and increases the risk of inconsistencies in client communication.

    It would be greatly appreciated if this enhancement could be prioritized and implemented urgently, rather than being deferred, considering the immediate impact on workflow and productivity.

    Looking forward to seeing improvements in this area soon.
