IR changes 12 Sep 2026

Kia ora Xero Payroll Team,

Inland Revenue has advised that Employment Information reporting changes will take effect from 12 September 2026, with a focus on improving data quality and supporting stronger validation rules in the future.

Are any updates or changes to Xero Payroll expected as a result of these EI reporting changes? If so, could you please provide details of any system updates, new validation requirements, or actions payroll administrators should be aware of?
