Payroll IR345

Trandy

Hey There

 

Am I able in Payroll to manipulate the IRD remittance advice period to show the physical payment dates rather than the pay period end dates each month?  It doesn't seem so.  Why I ask is because the IRD is calculating tax for the month based on physical payment dates rather than pay period end dates and this means that each month the IR345 produced from Payroll may be incorrect if a pay was paid early or late.  I can't see anywhere in the actual program to manipulate the date range. The only fix I can think of is to tell Payroll the physical payment date falls within the same month as the pay period end date.  Even though that's not always the case.  My accountant says that apparently other clients he has who use other supplier Payroll progams are in fact able to manipulate the date range on the IR345.

Hi @Trandy 

I'm guessing you are using MYOB Payroll? You need to update the PAYE period to match the payment date that you will put in before you finalise the pay. eg: If your W/E date is 31/7/19 and your payment date is 2/8/19, then still use W/E date 31/7/19 - but update the PAYE period to August, so that when you finalise the pay, the PAYE will report into August - the IRD remittance advice will then match what the IRD says. Altenately you can edit the date in the IRD page once you have lodged the Payday Filing. If you are using Essentials Payroll - this should be happening automatically.
