Integrating MAS values into AE Tax

This support note applies to:

  • AE MAS (AU)

  • AE Tax (AU)

Article ID: 36401

MYOB Accountants Enterprise (AE) Tax allows you to import values from AE Management Accounting System (MAS) ledgers.  This process transfers the values from the Trial Balance in your general ledger to the relevant items in the tax return.

Once you import the values into AE Tax, if you make any changes in MAS, you will need to perform the import process again to transfer the updated values. 

The process of importing overwrites values already in the tax return for the relevant fields.
