FAQs for UK based companies who need to pay staff in New Zealand:
Do UK based companies need to provide P45 or P60’s?
- No, employers file PAYE details with the IRD each month. Employees are able to register for and use Inland Revenue’s Online Services (myIR). myIR provides access for the employee to their personal details, pay, PAYE, Student Loan, KiwiSaver and Child Support information. This includes the amounts paid in the current tax year.
What about Payroll Authorisation?
KeyLink will tailor a Payroll Authorisation process to your requirements.
How do I ensure that NZ’s Minimum Employment Rights are met?
The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) enforces NZ’s employment rights. The Department of Labour (DoL) has been integrated into MBIE and is the equivalent of the Department of Work and Pensions. KeyLink payroll staff can let you know of all your employer obligations and assist you to meet them.
Do I need to provide Payslips?
Payslips aren’t required by law in NZ; however it is common practise for organisations to provide them. We can easily take care of this for you, whether you want an email, mail, or give the employees online access.
Do I have to create a bank account in NZ to pay my Employees and IRD?
You don’t need a NZ bank account to pay your staff or the IRD.

- We can send you a report and you can make the payments through your preferred Foreign Exchange provider
