Frequently asked questions
Cancel MYOB: The Right Way to Protect Your Data
How to cancel MYOB in australia and protect your business data
Understanding MYOB and why you might want to cancel
MYOB is a cloud-based accounting and payroll software suite built for small and medium-sized Australian businesses. The platform handles bookkeeping, BAS and GST reporting, payroll processing, inventory management, and Single Touch Payroll workflows. Whether you use MYOB Business, Solo, or the legacy AccountRight desktop product, you pay on a subscription basis, with additional usage fees for payroll modules applied on top of your base plan.
Your reasons for cancelling may vary. You might be switching to cheaper accounting software, closing your business, restructuring operations, or discovering that MYOB no longer fits your workflow. Yafee has supported thousands of Australian business owners through the subscription cancellation process, and this guide walks you through every step, including notice periods, billing protection, and your consumer rights under Australian law.
Why timing your cancellation matters
MYOB requires you to provide at least 10 calendar days' notice before your next billing date if you want to avoid being charged again. If you miss that window, MYOB will charge you for another month or year, depending on your plan structure. Understanding your exact billing date and submitting your cancellation request early is the single most important factor in avoiding unwanted charges. Yafee recommends checking your account dashboard or invoice history to identify this date before you begin.
Your legal position under australian consumer law
Australian Consumer Law protects you when you cancel any subscription service, including MYOB. Those protections apply whether you are cancelling after a trial period, during a promotional discount, or on a full-price plan. Understanding your rights means you can confidently push back if MYOB refuses to process your cancellation or applies unfair terms.
What australian consumer law guarantees
The Australian Consumer Law (ACL), enforced by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), guarantees that services must be provided with due care and skill. If MYOB fails to deliver the service you have paid for, or if you were misled about cancellation terms before you signed up, you have the right to a refund or remedy. More critically, if MYOB does not clearly communicate its cancellation policy upfront, or if the cancellation process is deliberately obscured, that breach can be reported to the ACCC.
Promotional periods and trial offers have specific cooling-off protections. If you signed up for a discount or free trial, you may have the right to cancel within a set period without penalty, depending on how MYOB presented the offer. Yafee advises checking your original purchase confirmation email for the exact terms that applied when you registered.
Escalating to the ACCC if MYOB refuses to cancel
If MYOB refuses to process your cancellation, delays your refund beyond 5 business days, or charges you after you have submitted a cancellation request, you can lodge a formal complaint with the ACCC. The regulator takes unfair contract terms and misleading cancellation practices seriously. You will need to document your cancellation request (including the date you sent it), any MYOB support responses, and proof of unauthorised charges. Keep all emails and screenshots as evidence.
Your legal position: You have the right to cancel any subscription service in Australia, and the company must honour that cancellation without applying hidden fees or processing delays. If MYOB breaches this right, the ACCC can investigate and enforce remedies on your behalf.
MYOB pricing and billing structure
MYOB's pricing varies significantly by plan type and billing cycle, so understanding what you are paying for helps you calculate your final bill and plan your cancellation timing.
Common MYOB plans and typical costs in AUD
| Plan name | Billing cycle | Typical AUD pricing | Payroll add-ons |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solo | Annual or monthly | A$6-30 per month (promotional rates vary) | No |
| Business | Annual or monthly | A$15-50 per month | Yes, per employee |
| Business Pro | Annual or monthly | A$25-80 per month | Yes, recommended for payroll-heavy users |
| AccountRight (desktop) | Annual licence | A$500-1,500 per year | Yes |
| Payroll-only module | Monthly, per employee | A$3-8 per employee per month | Standalone |
| Plus Pack add-on | Monthly | A$5-15 extra per month | Data integration, API access |
If you are on an annual plan, cancelling mid-year may trigger a pro-rata refund. Yafee recommends calculating whether a partial refund is available before you submit your cancellation. MYOB's help documentation outlines refund eligibility for annual subscribers, so review that before you proceed.
How to cancel MYOB via your account dashboard
The fastest way to cancel MYOB is through your online account portal. This method takes approximately 5-10 minutes and requires only your login credentials and a few clicks.
Step 1: log in to your MYOB account
- Open your web browser and go to the MYOB login page.
- Enter your email address and password.
- If you have multi-factor authentication enabled, complete that step.
Step 2: navigate to account management settings
- Once logged in, locate your account menu (usually in the top-right corner of the screen).
- Select "Manage my Product" or "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu.
- Look for a section labeled "Billing", "Subscription", or "Plans".
Step 3: find the cancellation option
- Within the Subscription or Billing section, locate the "Cancel Subscription" or "Cancel Plan" button.
- MYOB may display your current plan details, renewal date, and any outstanding balance.
- Review this information carefully before proceeding.
Step 4: complete your cancellation request
- Click the "Cancel Subscription" button.
- MYOB will display a confirmation screen asking you to confirm your cancellation and offering reasons for cancellation (optional feedback).
- You may be offered a discount or retention incentive at this point; ignore it if you are certain you want to leave.
- Confirm your cancellation by clicking the final confirmation button.
- MYOB will process your request within 48 hours.
Step 5: verify your cancellation and retain proof
- MYOB will send you a cancellation confirmation email within 24-48 hours.
- Take a screenshot of the confirmation screen and save the email.
- Check your account dashboard to confirm that the subscription status has changed to "Cancelled".
- Verify that no new charges appear on your next billing date.
Important timing and notice requirements
MYOB enforces a strict 10 calendar days' notice requirement before your next billing date. Missing this deadline means you will be charged for another billing cycle, and obtaining a refund requires additional steps and documentation.
Identifying your billing date
- Log in to your MYOB account and navigate to "Billing" or "Subscription" settings.
- Locate your "Next billing date" or "Renewal date" (displayed in DD/MM/YYYY format).
- Count back 10 calendar days from this date to find your cancellation deadline.
- If today is later than that deadline, contact MYOB support immediately to discuss your options.
What happens if you miss the deadline
If you submit your cancellation request fewer than 10 days before your next billing date, MYOB will charge you for the next billing cycle. You will then need to contact MYOB support to request a refund. Yafee recommends keeping detailed records of this communication, as refund disputes can take 5-10 business days to resolve.
Cancelling MYOB by contacting support directly
If you cannot access your account, prefer a documented cancellation method, or need to cancel before the 10-day deadline, contact MYOB support directly. This method creates a formal record of your cancellation request and is especially useful if a dispute later arises.
Step 1: gather your account information
- Locate your MYOB account number (found on invoices or in your account settings).
- Note the email address associated with your MYOB account.
- Prepare your cancellation reason (optional, but helpful for support staff).
Step 2: contact MYOB support
- Visit the MYOB help centre at help.myob.com and locate the "Contact us" page.
- You can submit a support ticket, request a callback, or use the live chat feature.
- Alternatively, call MYOB's Australian support line (1300 555 003) during business hours.
- Inform the support agent that you wish to cancel your subscription effective immediately.
Step 3: request a cancellation confirmation
- Ask the support agent to send you a written cancellation confirmation email.
- This email should include your cancellation date, your account number, and confirmation that no further charges will apply.
- Do not end the conversation until you have this confirmation in writing.
Refunds and pro-rata billing after cancellation
Your eligibility for a refund depends on your billing cycle and the cancellation timing. MYOB's refund policy is governed by Australian Consumer Law and the terms stated in your subscription agreement.
Refunds for annual subscribers
If you paid for a full year and cancel before the end of that year, you are entitled to a pro-rata refund for the unused portion. MYOB calculates this by dividing your annual fee by 365 days, then multiplying by the number of unused days remaining. This refund is not automatic; you must request it from MYOB support.
Refunds for monthly subscribers
If you are on a monthly plan and submit your cancellation at least 10 days before your next billing date, you will not be charged again. You receive no refund for the current month, as you have already received the service. If you cancel fewer than 10 days before your next billing date, MYOB will charge you for the next month, and you will need to request a refund for that charge.
How to request a refund
- Contact MYOB support via the help centre (help.myob.com) or phone (1300 555 003).
- Provide your account number and explain that you are requesting a pro-rata refund.
- MYOB will calculate the refund amount and process it to your original payment method.
- Refunds typically appear within 5-7 business days after MYOB approves your request.
- If the refund does not appear after 7 business days, contact your bank or credit card company to confirm receipt.
Protecting your data after cancellation
Cancelling MYOB does not automatically delete your business records. You must export and back up your financial data before your account closes, as MYOB may restrict access after cancellation is processed.
Exporting your accounting data
- Log in to your MYOB account before you submit your cancellation request.
- Navigate to "Tools" or "Administration" settings.
- Select "Export" or "Backup" and choose the file format (CSV, Excel, or PDF).
- MYOB will generate a file containing your chart of accounts, invoices, bills, transactions, and payroll records.
- Download and save this file to your computer and an external drive.
Exporting payroll records
- If you use MYOB's payroll module, export your employee records, pay runs, and tax records separately.
- Navigate to "Payroll" settings and select "Reports" or "Export".
- Generate reports for all employees, including YTD totals, tax withheld, and super contributions.
- Save these files in a secure location; you will need them for audits or future accounting software.
Archiving your documentation
After you cancel, MYOB may restrict your access to archived records within 30-60 days. Download receipts, invoices, bank statements, and GST records before your cancellation is final. Keep these documents for at least 5 years to comply with Australian Tax Office (ATO) requirements.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling MYOB
Cancelling MYOB is straightforward, but missteps can leave you vulnerable to unwanted charges or data loss. Yafee has identified the most common errors so you can avoid them.
Missing the 10-day notice deadline
The single most expensive mistake is submitting your cancellation fewer than 10 days before your next billing date. This error triggers an unwanted charge that requires a separate refund request to reverse. Check your billing date in advance and submit your cancellation no later than the tenth calendar day before renewal.
Not exporting your data before cancellation
If you close your account without backing up your records, you risk losing access to invoices, payroll history, and tax documentation. Export all data before you submit your cancellation. Once MYOB processes your cancellation, the company may permanently delete your records after 30-90 days.
Ignoring retention offers and discounts
MYOB's cancellation screen may display special offers or temporary discounts intended to convince you to stay. If you are certain you want to leave, ignore these offers and proceed with your cancellation. Do not be swayed by a one-month discount if the software does not fit your business needs.
Not retaining cancellation confirmation
Always keep a copy of your cancellation confirmation email and a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation screen. If MYOB charges you after you have cancelled, this documentation proves your cancellation request and accelerates refund processing.
What to do after MYOB cancellation
Cancelling MYOB is the beginning of a transition, not the end. Your next steps determine whether you move smoothly to a new accounting system or face gaps in your financial record-keeping.
Migrating to alternative accounting software
Research accounting software that better suits your business size and industry. Popular Australian alternatives include Xero, Wave, QuickBooks Online, and Reckon. Most of these platforms offer import tools that can read MYOB-exported files directly. Check compatibility before you export your data from MYOB, and contact the new software's support team if you need technical guidance on the migration.
Archiving your MYOB records for compliance
The Australian Tax Office (ATO) requires all businesses to keep financial records for at least 5 years. Store your exported MYOB data and backup files in a secure, accessible location. Use cloud storage (Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive) or external hard drives to ensure you do not lose these records if your computer fails.
Monitoring your bank account for unexpected charges
Check your credit card and bank statements for 30 days after your cancellation is processed. If MYOB charges you again despite your cancellation request, immediately contact your bank or credit card company to dispute the charge. Provide the bank with your cancellation confirmation email as evidence. Yafee recommends setting a phone reminder for 7 days after your cancellation deadline so you remember to verify that no charge has occurred.
Comparison of cancellation methods
You have multiple ways to cancel MYOB, and each method has distinct advantages and timelines. This table summarises your options so you can choose the approach that best fits your situation.
| Cancellation method | Time to process | Documentation | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Online account dashboard | 48 hours | Automatic email confirmation | Fastest cancellation with proof |
| Phone support (1300 555 003) | 24-48 hours | Manual email confirmation required | Immediate assistance and clarification |
| Support ticket via help.myob.com | 2-5 business days | Email correspondence trail | Documented record-keeping |
| Live chat on help.myob.com | Immediate confirmation | Screenshot required | Quick resolution with agent guidance |
| Email to [email protected] | 3-5 business days | Full correspondence history | Formal written record for disputes |
Yafee recommends using the online dashboard as your first choice because it provides immediate confirmation, automatic documentation, and the shortest processing time. Reserve phone or email contact for situations where you need to dispute charges or require a refund outside the standard cancellation process.

MYOB's standard cancellation process is straightforward, but occasionally disputes arise. You have clear legal remedies if MYOB refuses to honour your cancellation request or applies unfair terms.

Step 4: escalate to the ACCC if the dispute is not resolved

- The ACCC will investigate and can force MYOB to refund unauthorised charges or reinstate your account.
