Before you can submit employment information to Inland Revenue for payday filing, you'll need to get set up. Setting up only takes a few minutes (we kid you not). All you need to know is your business's IRD number and your myIR login. So let's get started!

What if I've recorded pays before setting up?

You’ll need to get that information to IR. You can do this by either deleting the pay then reprocessing it (after setting up payday filing), or manually entering the pay run information into myIR.

Before you start setting up

If you're new to MYOB Essentials, there are a few things you'll need to check before you start setting up payday filing.

Make sure you've got a myIR account for your business. Learn how to get one on the Inland Revenue website
Have the IR number for your business handy
Add all employees to MYOB Essentials and myIR. Employees must have the same name and details in both places to ensure they can be matched

Who can set up payday filing?

The owner of the business's myIR account (this could be the business owner) should set up payday filing for the business. You can delegate someone to set up on your behalf – see Delegate others to submit payday filing.

The person who has been uploading files for payroll via ir-File could also set up payday filing for the business.

Once the business is set up, each person submitting employment information to Inland Revenue must authorise MYOB to submit on their behalf.
