The ir-file service in myIR will be discontinued on 11^th March.

That means if you file your February Employer Returns online before 11^th March, you can file under ir-file as you do now.

If you file after the 11^th March you need to use ‘payroll returns’ account in the Business tab section of myIR.

March Employer Monthly Schedules must be filed through the ‘payroll returns’ account.

From 28^th February payroll returns will be available in myIR (or earlier if you’ve opted in early to payday filing) and you will need to add it to your work space.

The Business tab section is where you will go to file your payday schedules from 1 April unless your software supports payday filing and you can file directly from the software.

A reminder, your last Employer Monthly Schedule will be for the month of March, due on the 20^th April.

From 1^st April, you will also need to file payday information within 2 days of paying your employees.

If you file paper returns (only available if annual PAYE and ESCT are less than $50,000) you need to file your information within 10 working days of:

• the payday, or
• the 15^th and end of month (if you choose to send information twice a month)
