Each month, we release improvements, new features, and bug fixes. If your company file is online, you can also use AccountRight in a web browser – take a look at what's new in the browser.
What's new in AccountRight version 2025.5 - released 11 June
Payroll
Helping you stay compliant for the 25/26 payroll year (Australia only)
We've got you covered this EOFY by taking care of all these changes for the 2025/26 payroll year:
Tax tables – the 2025/26 tax tables have been automatically updated and will apply for pays dated 1 July 2025 onwards. You'll see the new tax table date when you do a pay dated 1 July or later.
Super rate increase to 12% – the super guarantee rate goes up to 12% from 1 July, but there's an easy way to automate super rate increases.
Lump sum E threshold removal – From 1 July, any payment of back pay is considered a lump sum E. Previously this only applied to back pay exceeding $1200. More about lump sum E payments
Undo manual changes to pay history (Australia only)
An employee's pay history shows what they've been paid in pay runs, so should never be tampered with. We've added an Undo Manual Changes button to the Pay History to easily undo any changes that have been entered manually (maybe trying to fix a pay). Previously you needed to contact us for help to undo these changes.

Bug fixes
We fixed a bug that was affecting some users where the count of In Tray documents on the command centre was inaccurate.
We fixed some crashes that could occur when starting AccountRight or switching between the Banking, Sales and Purchases command centres.
(AccountRight Basics only) You'll no longer see an arrow temporarily appear above the Spend Money button on the Banking command centre.
The Print/Email Statements button no longer temporarily appears too narrow on the Sales command centre.
The Help button in offline company files no longer flickers when you hover over it.
We fixed a visual glitch that could occur on disabled shortcut tiles on the command centre. Previously, if a tile was disabled for a user, a small portion of the tile appeared to be clickable, but clicking it did nothing.
Field validation error messages now display correctly.
Under the hood
We're always working on things behind the scenes that you might not see (or might not see yet), but lead to new time-saving features, better security, or improved performance. Here's an example:
If you access your company file in a web browser, an early access program (EAP) has been launched for changes to the Bank transactions page to make matching faster, smarter and far less manual. A small cohort has been added to the EAP to try this new feature before it's rolled out to everyone. More about this EAP

After each release, we retire an older version
We usually release an AccountRight update around the middle of the month with improvements and fixes.
As updates are released, older versions are decommissioned and no longer work online. If you're using an older version and your file's online, you must update to the latest AccountRight version to keep working.
If you're using AccountRight version 2025.4, you must update by 23 June*.
Shut down AccountRight when you're not using it. If you leave AccountRight open all the time, you may miss out on automatic updates.
* All dates are indicative only and subject to change.
How to get this update
If you use AccountRight PC Edition (version 2021.1 or later) or AccountRight Server Edition (version 2022.4 or later) you'll automatically be updated to the latest release of AccountRight. The next time you log in after that, you'll be prompted to restart AccountRight to complete the update.
If you use AccountRight Server Edition version 2022.3 or earlier you can download the latest version for your server (AccountRight subscription required). Learn more about updating an AccountRight network.
Not sure what edition you're using? If you can see SE in the desktop shortcut description, you're using Server Edition. Otherwise, you're probably using the PC Edition.

If you're updating from an older AccountRight version, like AccountRight Classic (v19), learn how to upgrade.
If you see a message that AccountRight needs updating when you open AccountRight, you need to restart AccountRight to install any pending updates. See Getting the latest version.
