NZ Payroll - Pay PAYE to IRD through payment file

Would be great if you could pay the IRD PAYE when you pay the employees in the same payroll batch. This is already a function with Flexitime Payhero and doesn’t rely on staff making the IRD PAYE payment manually. If Xero had this function there would never be any late IRD PAYE payments as its getting paid to IRD when the employees are paid.

    This is a critical update which I think is very important as it helps to be on top of compliance and also have that routine in place and manage cash flow more effectively. With the addition of a ticking option you can enable the payment if you would like to pay IRD and if in some months money is tight, you can untick and pay the staff and pay IRD later. However best practice would be to have it enabled as this will give you more options to plan ahead.

    Hi, I think this is a necessity to eliminate a manual payment to IRD. I have clients for whom I setup a repeating bill to IRD and when I pay the employees, I load the PAYE at the same time. Come on Xero - can you get this done for us?
    There are a lot of fancy things that are getting done, but some of the basic things are not - and this is one of them that is needed to stop putting people to work!

    Add in bank transaction mediation functionality into Xero mainly for Payroll. Enable clients to pay both their employees and Inland Revenue automatically from Xero when posting a pay run. Instead of manually having to pay the employees through bulk pay files and IRD through manual transactions, connect Xero and do it from there automatically. Click "Pay Now" and its all done for you.

    It would be great if Xero could integrate payments for statutory deductions so payments could be made direct through the one payment batch instead of having to manually load individual payments. Other payroll software can do this so I'm sure Xero could to.

    When will we be able to link IRD statutory deductions to the employee and be able to add a reference number etc so the arrears % amount can be paid direct to IRD at the same time as wages are paid. At the moment we have to make manual payments to IRD for each employee with an arrears notice and keep manual records. It would be great for Xero to upgrade this aspect and give us the same option that other payroll systems have given us.

    Integrate the payments for statutory deductions for employees included in payruns into the payment file so the payments can be made through the payroll batch. I think this is what some other payroll software do.
