What is Payday filing?

Payday filing is a new government requirement that changes the way you submit your employee payroll information to the Inland Revenue Department (IRD). Currently employers file employee earnings and PAYE information to the IRD each month, no matter how frequently they pay their employees. Under Payday filing you need to report this information to the IRD every time you pay your employees.

When does Payday filing start? Payday filing was made mandatory for all employers from 1 April 2019. Payday filing has been voluntary from 1 April 2018, and switches to mandatory from 1 April 2019. It’s a good idea to start thinking about how you’ll make Payday filing part of your payroll processes before this becomes a requirement.

What do I need to submit?

Each time you finish a pay run you need to send a report of the employee payroll information to the IRD. Your report will include the following information for each employee:

  • Pay period, pay cycle (weekly monthly etc) and payday date
  • The employee’s full name, IRD number and tax code
  • The employee’s total gross earnings
  • The amount of PAYE, including tax on scheduler payments
  • Child support or student loan deductions if applicable
  • KiwiSaver deductions
  • KiwiSaver employer contributions if applicable
  • Employer Superannuation Contribution Tax (ESCT)
  • Start and finish dates if an employee starts or stops working for you during the pay period

Why has Payday filing been introduced? In 2018, the New Zealand Government passed Payday filing legislation to streamline the payroll process by aligning payroll reporting requirements with your normal pay cycle. Payday filing replaces your Employer Monthly Schedule (IR348) if you file online or your Employer Schedule (IR348) if you’re a paper filer. Payday filing also makes it easier to spot and correct mistakes as soon as they’re made and ensures the Government receives up-to-date information for calculating yours and your employees tax and entitlements.
