Tax Periods: Synchronization with Financial Periods

MYOB Advanced supports automatic synchronization of tax periods with financial periods. The tax periods for which Financial Periods is selected in the Tax Period Type box on the Tax Periods (TX207000) form can be synchronized with financial periods in the company calendar, regardless of the status of tax periods—Prepared, Open, or Closed.

When an administrative user changes the user-defined financial periods on the Master Financial Calendar (GL201000) or on the Company Financial Calendar (GL201100) form if the Multiple Calendar Support feature is enabled, if Financial Periods is selected in the Tax Period Type box for the company specified in the Company box and the tax agency selected in the Tax Agency box, you should update tax periods based on the updated financial calendar in the following ways.
