New Zealand only Payday filing lets you file employment information to Inland Revenue (IR) each time you process a pay. For all the details on payday filing and your obligations, visit the IR website. Before you can submit employment information to IR for payday filing, you'll need to get set up. It only takes a few minutes (we kid you not), and all you need is your business's IRD number and your myIR login. | UI Text Box |

| 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 setting upThere are a few things you'll need to check before setting up payday filing. - Make sure you've got a myIR account for your business. Learn how to get one on the IR website.
- Have the IRD number for your business handy.
- Add all employees into MYOB 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 (New Zealand)- NZ.
