Managing payroll in New Zealand requires more than technical connectivity; it requires precise execution aligned with statutory expectations. Inland Revenue’s payday filing framework is inherently action-driven, and Neeyamo’s payroll integration is designed to support those actions reliably at scale.
Rather than treating compliance as a one-time submission, Neeyamo’s payroll treats payday filing as an end-to-end operational process, ensuring payroll data is filed accurately, on time, and in line with Inland Revenue requirements across various pay scenarios.
Additionally, NeeyamoPays™ New Zealand combines Neeyamo’s global payroll expertise with in-country compliance knowledge and AI-powered automation, ensuring payroll runs smoothly, transparently, and in step with Inland Revenue (IR) reporting obligations.
Payday Filing Web Services: Action-Oriented Capabilities
Tax authorities typically provide payroll-related web services to support statutory reporting and employee data management. From a payroll operations perspective, the true value of these services lies not in their technical labels, but in the business actions they enable.
1. Employment Information: Payday Filing Actions
This service supports payday filing, a recurring statutory obligation in payroll processing.
Submit Filing
This action transmits payroll information for each pay period, typically including:
- Employee gross earnings and taxable income
- Statutory tax withholdings and levies
- Retirement or savings scheme contributions (employee and employer)
- Loan- or support-related deductions where applicable
- Relevant tax codes.
Operationally, this is the core compliance step: payroll data is compiled, validated, and submitted in a prescribed format on or before each pay date.
Retrieve Submission Status
Provides confirmation that a filing has been received, validated, and processed, giving payroll teams visibility and assurance.
Retrieve Filed Data
Enables access to previously submitted payroll records, supporting audits, reconciliations, corrections, and compliance reviews.
Together, these actions enable payday filing to operate as a repeatable, automated process, reducing dependency on manual intervention.
2. Employment Details: Employee Lifecycle Actions
Employment Details services support the ongoing synchronization of employee information between payroll systems and tax authority records.
Register Employee
Records new employees with the tax authority, including onboarding details such as tax identifiers, tax codes, and participation in statutory savings schemes.
Update Employee Details
Ensures accuracy when employee information changes, including tax codes, savings scheme participation, and personal details.
Terminate Employment
Captures employee exit information to keep payroll and statutory records up to date and accurate.
Retrieve or List Employees
Provides on-demand access to employee records for validation, verification, and compliance checks.
Retrieve Statutory Events
Delivers notifications or updates from the tax authority, such as changes affecting savings schemes, loan obligations, or support arrangements, allowing payroll processes to respond automatically.
Collectively, these actions ensure that employee data remains current, compliant, and aligned with statutory requirements throughout the employment lifecycle.
Neeyamo’s Payroll Advantage: Action-Driven Compliance
Where many payroll solutions struggle is not access to statutory systems, but maintaining consistency and accuracy across diverse payroll scenarios.
Neeyamo’s payroll approach is designed to:
- Support different pay dates, pay frequencies, and processing schedules
- Maintain compliance even when payroll timing varies from standard cycles.
- Eliminate the need for manual amendments.
Payroll teams can operate with confidence, knowing that statutory filings remain accurate and compliant as part of normal payroll execution, not as an exception process.
Managing KiwiSaver with Simplified Payroll Logic
KiwiSaver introduces conditional complexity through opt-ins, opt-outs, contribution rates, and exemptions.
Neeyamo simplifies this by:
- Handling statutory logic within payroll processing workflows
- Automating period and contribution handling in line with regulatory expectations
- Presenting payroll users with only the inputs required for correct processing
This allows payroll teams to deliver accurate KiwiSaver outcomes without needing to interpret statutory edge cases.
Built for Reliable Payroll Execution
Neeyamo’s integration with Inland Revenue is designed around executing payroll actions dependably:
- Automated handling of statutory payroll events
- End-to-end visibility into filing status and responses
- Consistent alignment with regulatory requirements
Payroll teams are not managing technical integrations; they are executing payroll with confidence.
