The MYOB Practice Administrator can edit the default email and Portal task text that’s used each time that your practice sends tax notices to your clients. The Administrator can also edit the logo and the footer that is included with the email or task.

The Administrator can also set a CC email address. When sending a tax notice by email rather than by Portal task, this lets your practice receive a copy of the tax notice email when it's sent to clients.

If you're sending an individual tax notice rather than multiple tax notices in bulk, you can also edit the text once-off when you click Send to client from the Tax notices page.

You may also want to set up folders in Microsoft Outlook with rules to divert the email to that folder.

The Administrator role was assigned to one staff member when you migrated to MYOB Practice. The original Administrator may also have given other users the Administrator role.

You can tell if you're an Administrator by what you see when you click Settings () on the left menu bar. Administrators will see the Staff menu option.

If no one in your practice has an Administrator role, you need to contact us.

About logos

There are two places where you can set logos in MYOB Practice.

  1. Logo for notifications—The logo you set in Settings > Email notifications is displayed in any emails that are generated from MYOB Practice when you create portal tasks for clients or when you send a tax notice to a client.
  2. Logo for portal—The logo you set in Settings > Portal is displayed on your client's portal login page and within the portal page after the client logs in.

To set tax notice email and Portal task options
  1. Ensure you’re logged in as the MYOB Practice Administrator.
  2. In MYOB Practice, on the left menu bar, select Settings () and choose Compliance. The Settings and templates Compliance page appears.
  3. In the Tax notices tile, to the right of the Email section, click Edit.
  4. To receive a copy of tax notice emails sent to your clients, enter an Email address to CC.

    Sending a tax notice to a client - NZ

    • You may find it useful to set up a shared email address to use as the inbox for tax notice emails. That way, everyone in your practice with access to the inbox can search for tax notices for a particular client.
    • If you use MYOB AE/AO and Document Manager, you may find it useful to save the tax notice emails and store them in Document Manager using the Share It feature.


  5. To change the logo or footer that's included in the email, click Email Notification Settings in the Practice logo or Practice footer section.

    Clicking Email Notification Settings takes you to the Email notifications page. Once you've finished changing the email notifications, if you want to return to continue setting the tax notice email and Portal task options, you'll need to click Compliance from the left menu bar and click Edit again. See Setting up branded emails for more help on using the Email notifications page.
  6. To edit the default email or Portal task text that's used when you email tax notices to your clients, edit the text in the Cover email text section.

    The asterisk in the Cover email text field label means it's a mandatory field. If you leave the field blank and try to save your changes, the field will revert to using the default text.

    See Options when editing default email text below to learn about using field variables and HTML elements.

  7. If you want to preview the email or Portal task output, click Email me an example. The example email is sent from and to the email address of the logged-in MYOB Practice user. When you send the actual tax notice email to your clients, it will be sent from your alias if you have one set up.
  8. Click Save at the bottom of the page.

    If you made a mistake and saved over the default email text, don't worry! Leave the Cover email text field blank and click Save. The field will revert to using the default text.

Options when editing default email or task text
  • When editing the text in the Cover email text field, you can choose from the options above the field, or click the source code icon () to use HTML elements.


  • If you use HTML elements, you can format the text, for example, by entering <p> to create a new paragraph. Or place a word between <b> and </b> to bold that word. Learn more about HTML text.

  • If you use HTML elements, text displayed {{in brackets}} indicates a field variable, which automatically inserts text, like the client name, into the email or task output in place of the field.

  • If you're not using HTML elements, field variables are indicated by purple text, and you can enter more using the Insert Field drop-down.
    • If you use MYOB AE/AO, the Client Name and Mailing Name field variables insert data imported from your MYOB AE/AO desktop software, if it's available. If you use Mailing Name but there's no data available for this variable, the client name is inserted instead.
    • The Salutation field variable displays a shorter version of the recipient’s name, for a more appropriate way of beginning a tax notice message. For example, Dear John instead of Dear John James Smith.
      If you use MYOB AE/AO, the Salutation value comes from your MYOB AE/AO desktop software. The value would have been set when you created the client. You can edit the value from the Client - [Name] > Main tab.
    • The Partner Email field variable displays the email address of the partner in your practice who is associated with the client receiving the message. The email address that is used is the same email address that the partner uses to log in to my.myob.
    • The other field variables insert the relevant data from MYOB Practice. For example, the relevant tax notice type for the tax notice being sent.
To preview what the output will look like, use the option to send yourself a sample email.
