If you've received an email or in-product message that your MYOB Essentials file (or if you're an MYOB Partner, your client's files) will be upgraded soon, we recommend you log into MYOB's super portal and download your contribution statements and payment receipts.

This is because:

• in the new MYOB Essentials, Pay Super replaces MYOB's super portal and eventually the super portal won't be available
• the Australian Taxation Office requires employers to keep super contributions records for five years from the date of the contribution.

We recommend downloading your contribution statements and payment receipts and saving them in a secure folder.

How do I pay super after upgrading?

In the new MYOB Essentials, you can pay employee super using Pay Super. While you do need to change over to Pay Super, the good new is it's easier and quicker to use than MYOB's super portal. Pay Super is integrated with MYOB Essentials, so it's all managed in the one place. You no longer need to upload a contribution file when you want to pay employee – you just need to enter an SMS authorisation code to get your payment processed.

You'll be prompted to set up Pay Super in your new MYOB Essentials.
