The payroll platform uses your Inland Revenue Department (IRD) settings when lodging a pay day filing. These details inform the IRD who is lodging these events for your organisation and provide them with the needed information to process your requests.

The IRD settings feature requires you to select from two submission types: lodging as an employer or lodging as an intermediary. You can only select one of the two options and which one this is depends on how your organisation submits lodgements to the IRD.

So you have now set up your IRD settings and you are now wondering what next can I do. There are two recommendations I would make on this front and they are:

Payroll Platform: Setup Payment Files This feature allows you to set up your organisation's payment file details, such as the account name and number, and lodgement reference
Payroll Platform: Setup my Organisations Business Details This feature allows you to update your organisational information, such as your legal entity used within your payroll platform.
