Sometimes an employee's tax details need updating when their circumstances change. These changes can include needing to update their IRD number right through to changing the source of their income from secondary to primary income.
The Tax Code Declaration feature is where you update these details if they change, with the HR platform reflecting these changes throughout the entire platform. This means there is only one place you need to update tax code details if they change to make sure your employee records on the HR platform are always up to date.
