Hi everyone,

Looking for advice on changing an Australian BAS setup from Quarterly to Monthly from 1 July 2026 in MYOB Acumatica 2025.1 (Build 2025.101.503.568).

Current Tax Periods:

  • 01-2026: Jan–Mar — Closed
  • 02-2026: Apr–Jun — Closed
  • 03-2026: Jul–Sep — Open
  • 04-2026: Oct–Dec — Open

Business needs Apr–Jun 2026 to remain quarterly, then Tax Year 2027 to start 1 July 2026 with monthly periods through 30 June 2027.

The GL Financial Year 2027 is already correctly configured as 1 July 2026–30 June 2027 with 12 monthly periods.

Can we safely shorten the 2026 Tax Year by deleting only the open 03-2026 and 04-2026 periods, then create Tax Year 2027 as Monthly, without affecting the closed Apr–Jun 2026 period?

What is the supported approach for this scenario?

Yes , since Apr–Jun 2026 is already closed, it should remain unchanged.

The supported approach is to mark Tax Year 2026 as a Short Tax Year and delete only the open periods (Jul–Sep and Oct–Dec 2026). Then create Tax Year 2027 with Monthly periods starting 1 July 2026.

Please test this in a copy of the company and confirm with MYOB Acumatica Support before making the change.

Closed tax periods cannot be modified.
