Get ready to shift to payday filing

From April 2019 all employers will need to file their employment information every payday.

This means instead of filing an Employer monthly schedule (IR348) every month, you'll file employment information every payday in line with your normal payroll cycle.

Providing us with more timely information means your employees will have more certainty about what they will receive, eg Working for Families Tax Credits, and/or have to pay.

Filing each pay day is best when incorporated into your payroll tasks. So now's the time to get your business processes in order and plan for the shift to payday filing before April 2019.

The change is just one of the ways we're making tax simpler for New Zealanders.
