IR348 Filing
Employer Monthly Schedule form
The IR348 is the Employer Monthly Schedule (EMS). As the names suggests, this schedule is filed monthly. The due dates for the EMS vary depending on the size of the employer.
Employer Size | Due Date |
---|---|
Large | 5th of the month following the month PAYE was deducted, OR |
Small | 20th of the month following the month PAYE was deducted |
To generate the IR348, follow these steps:
- From the menu, navigate to Payroll Administration > NZ Reports > IRD Reports > New
- Select the correct Subsidiary, then select Report Type of IR 348 (EMS). The page will refresh once the report type is selected so selecting the subsidiary first ensures the data returned is filtered properly.
- A preview of the employee data will be shown and dates defaulted for Reporting Period Start Date and Period End Date. As reporting is generally done for last month the dates default to the month prior to the current date. To change the date ranges click on the arrows at the top of the page.
- Employees can be deselected from the IR file by unmarking the checkbox on the left hand side of the list of the Employees list.
To create the IR file click the Save button. Depending on the number of employees that are included on the submission the process will generate the file immediately or schedule.
