RejectedIR error code: 4 Unauthorized Delegation

The person who submitted the employment information hasn't been delegated to submit for the business.

The most common cause of this error is that IRD haven't migrated delegated users from the previous method of filing monthly returns.

Another cause of this error is logging in and authorising MYOB using your personal myIR details instead of with the account created by the business.

To check that you have access to the Payroll Account in myIR:

  1. Log into myIR as you normally would.
  2. Click My Business.
  3. Click Settings.
  4. Select the Access tab.
  5. Check to see which accounts you have access too. You need access to the Payroll account to be able to be able to use payday filing. If you don't have access to the 'Payroll' account, you'll need to speak to the person in the business who is the owner and they'll be able to delegate you access.
  6. Once you have access to the 'payroll' account, go back into Essentials, and re-submit the rejected returns.

If you have completed the steps above and are still getting rejected reports, see the steps below to check that you linked the correct myIR account.

To check that the correct myIR account is linked, the person who submitted the employment information needs to:

Step 1 - Remove MYOB authorisation

  1. Go to Payroll > Payday filing > Inland Revenue settings.
  2. Click Remove authorisation.

Step 2 - Make sure you are logged out of myIR. This ensures you log in to the correct account.

Step 3 - Authorise MYOB for payday filing as a delegated user.

Step 4 - Resubmit the employment information.

  1. Go to Payroll > Payday filing.
  2. Click the Action button (...), and select Submit to Inland Revenue.

ErrorError Code 5: Unauthorised VendorOur experts are investigating this error.There's nothing you need to do. Once the issue is fixed, your payday files will be submitted to Inland Revenue.
ErrorIR error code: 21  Invalid XMLThe most common cause of this error is the email address not being complete or in a valid format. For example, if you leave off the '.com' or 'co.nz' section of an email address.
  1. Go to Payroll > IRD monthly returns and check that the Contact Email address and other details on the page are correct.
  2. Click Download to save any changes you make.

And ask for your account to be associated with an EMP account.

    Example: entering in payroll from a prior month in which you have already submitted an IR 345 and IR 348.
  2. You're trying to file too far in advance.
    Example: The current month is April and you're filing for August. If you're processing more than a month or so in advance, check with IR whether or not they will accept it.

  • If the pay has been filed and is only listed once, you can ignore the error.
  • If the pay has been filed and is listed twice, delete one of the pays in myIR (if you need help doing this, contact IR).
  • If the pay does not show in myIR, delete the pay in MYOB Essentials and reprocess the pay to refile it to IR.
