Hi HybridCB
The MYOB Payroll (Desktop) product will generate EI files that can be uploaded to the IRD for Payday filing. Our NZ Payroll product like MYOB Essentials will do direct Payday filing with the IRD.
To my knowledge, there are currently no plans to update the MYOB Payroll (Desktop) application to allow that direct filing, only file creation. In saying that, the focus is on our MYOB Essentials offering and boosting that with additional features so that users can look at moving to that platform to get those new features and other existing benefits such as Payday filing.
