The Payroll platform uses your Inland Revenue Department (IRD) settings when lodging a payday filing. These details ensure the right information reaches the IRD as the entity lodging the relevant events and requests for your organisation.
The article explains how to use the IRD settings feature, which lets you select one of two submission types depending on how your organisation submits lodgements: lodging as an employer or lodging as an intermediary.
