MYOB Practice Tax - Slow & Laggy
Have just started using MYOB Practice Tax and have done a couple of individual returns in it and I am ready to throw my computer across the room with how slow & laggy it is doing a return online. I start typing something into a schedule and it then slowly one letter by one letter appears on the screen. If I have made a mistake I then have to wait for what I have typed to slowly scroll across the screen and can then watch as it slowly deletes letter by letter. Then if I want to move to the next box I need there is a 5-10 second delay before I can type anything. Trying to use a drop down menu is another 5-10 second delay for the drop down items to show up so I can select something It is driving me mad. Is anyone else having problems with it being stupidly slow or is it a problem at my end. As we have superfast internet I don't see how it could be a problem at my end. It is taking me half an hour to process an individual tax return (mainly due to having to wait between every single thing I do for MYOB to catch up) that would normally take 10 minutes tops if that.

Hello everyone! The latest update to MYOB Practice Compliance improves how information is displayed across all forms, schedules, and worksheets. Combining three key layout enhancements: Wider form widths: Forms are now centred with a fixed width, reducing unused space and presenting data in a cleaner, more balanced view. More fields on screens: Repeating fields are displayed side by side in a table-style layout, rather than all stacked vertically, allowing more information to be visible on one screen. Additional visual adjustments : Field alignment, spacing, and visual separators are now consistent across components, with clearer Yes/No buttons and improved hover states. These changes make forms easier to see, scan, and move through, reducing scrolling and helping you stay focused from start to finish.
Capital Works Deduction
In MYOB Practice Online Tax, there is no worksheet for the capital works deduction. As a result, I assume I need to use the Assets area to reflect the capital works expenditure. I have tried to reflect the following in assets for a client, and have been unable to do so as it does not allow me to put in a written down value: Asset: Initial Construction Cost Date Constructed: 1st July 1997 Construction Cost: $157,228 Date Property Purchased by Client: 12th August 2024 Opening Written Down Value on Purchase: $50,666 Effective Life: 40 Years Depreciation Method: Prime Cost Depreciation Rate: 2.5% Depreciation - 12th August 2024 to 30th June 2025: $3,478 Can you advise if I need to use assets for the capital works deduction calculation for tax online and, if yes, how do I reflect the details above in assets so it will calculate the correct depreciation for me for the 2025 tax year and, at the same time, track the correct amount of written down value for the capital works expenditure for future tax years (important to ensure depreciation past the 40 years is not calculated)? Kind regards Philip Occhiuto
