Hi Jacqui_M

As mentioned, we will be releasing MYOB Payroll 2019.1 later this particular month (Month) along with the standard compliance changes update.

In terms of the filing of the New and leaving employees file, my understanding, and I would encourage you to check with the IRD, is that the IRD have advised that it is not a requirement to file that file until April 1st. This is due to the recent changes that were made after most payroll providers had release updates for PayDay filing.

sarahh02 in theory, you are welcome to edit that particular file within Notepad, however, we don't recommend doing that. As mentioned above in this post, it is not a requirement until April 1st.

Hi sarahh02

Recently, the IRD changed the file format of that required file. This change was made after the MYOB Payroll build was released and thus that option doesn't allow for the user to file correctly. We will be releasing an update later this month (March 2019) to comply with the changes to the file and also for other compliance changes i.e. PAYE changes. Do look out for that NZ Payroll 2019.1 release.

Thank you Steven, I will look out for it. Will there be a way to change the existing file to enable us to upload it to IRD?
Cheers

When will 2019.1 be released? We have clients needing to file their reports now. Why were we not advised that upgrading to 2018.3 would still not enable payday filing?
