OK MYOB, can you tell me another tax software provider that is having these occupation code issues? I have googled and it doesn't seem to be an issue for anyone else apart from MYOB tax !!! This is definitely a MYOB issue not an ATO issue. The ATO would NOT delete Electrician from their occupation code list. That is ludicrus !
I have had occupation code issues in other providers(0) as well. Codes that worked in prior years are suddenly not validating and can't be found in the search function. It's how I found this post a couple weeks ago and why I didn't bother making a post on their forums.
You can try and use the ATO website to find an appropriate alternative.
Of course the ATO PLS occupation code list appears to be hidden behind a login screen.
Stuart7111 has a decent workaround, use code "899914 Labourer - electrical" and change the display text.
