MYOB can lodge your Activity Statement directly with the ATO, saving you logging into a separate portal.

1. Connecting MYOB to the ATO

This uses the same ATO connection set up for STP reporting, authorising MYOB to lodge on your behalf.

2. Review one more time before lodging

Once you lodge, it is submitted to the ATO, so this is the last chance to catch anything.

3. Submitting the lodgement

From the finalised BAS, there is a direct lodge option that sends it straight to the ATO.

4. Keeping a record

MYOB retains a record of what was lodged and when, useful for reference later.

MYOB Academy covers direct lodgement: watch the official MYOB tutorial. Our registered BAS agents handle this lodgement for our clients as standard.
