NZ Payroll - Add a Payday filling notification when contractors IRD numbers are not included
Client has just realised that they hadn't entered an IRD number into Xero Payroll details for one of their contractors on withholding tax. Xero Payroll allowed the submission of payday filing to go through without error or notifying the client of the missing information.
6 months later, client is contacted by contractor to say IRD don't have any record of withholding income or tax withheld on behalf even though the details were submitted and tax paid on to IRD. Without the IRD number, IRD was unable to allocate it to the contractor's income records.
I don't think this should be allowed to happen, or at least a warning should be given before submitting the payday file.
Thanks.
