The mass accretion rate is a crucial parameter for the study of the evolutionof accretion discs around young low-mass stellar and substellar objects (YSOs).We revisit the case of MYLup, an object where VLT/X-Shooter data suggested anegligible mass accretion rate, and show it to be accreting on a level similarto other ClassII YSOs in Lupus based on HST observations. In our HST-COS and-STIS spectra, we find many emission lines, as well as substantial FUVcontinuum excess emission, which can be ascribed to active accretion. The totalluminosity of the CIV 1549A doublet is 4.1$\times10^{-4}$ Lsun. Using scalingsbetween accretion luminosity, Lacc, and CIV luminosity from the literature, wederive Lacc $\sim$2$\times10^{-1}$ Lsun, which is more than an order ofmagnitude higher than the upper limit estimated from the X-Shooterobservations. We discuss possible reasons for the X-Shooter-HST discrepancy,the most plausible being that the low contrast between the continuum excessemission and the photospheric+chromospheric emission at optical wavelengths inMYLup hampered detection of excess emission. The luminosity of the FUVcontinuum and CIV lines, strong H$_{2}$ fluorescence, and a "1600 A Bump" placeMYLup in the class of accreting objects with gas-rich discs. So far, MYLup isthe only peculiar case in which a significant difference between the HST andX-Shooter Macc estimates exists that is not ascribable to variability. The massaccretion rate inferred from the revisited Lacc estimate is Macc $\sim$ 1($^{+1.5}_{-0.5}$ )$\times10^{-8}$ Msun/yr. This value is consistent with thetypical value derived for accreting YSOs of similar mass in Lupus and points toless clearing of the inner disc than indicated by near- and mid-infraredobservations. This is confirmed by ALMA data, which show that the gaps andrings seen in the sub-millimetre are relatively shallow.
