New Zealand Legal Entity Configuration

New Zealand legal entities are configured in Org Setup > Org Payroll Setup > Legal Entity.

Legal entity configuration for New Zealand can involve several stages, which are described here:

• Adding one or more New Zealand legal entities and their corresponding addresses.
• Configuring customer funding identifiers.
• Configuring Payday Filing details.

New Zealand Legal Entity

For New Zealand legal entity configuration, the Federal/Business ID number field requires a valid 9- digit Employer IRD number. It cannot be 000000000.

The following tabs are used when creating a New Zealand legal entity:

• The Address Tab
• The Customer Funding Identifiers Tab
• The Payday Filing Details Tab
• The Tax Authorities Tab

You can also review the taxes that are associated with employees in the legal entity. See The Tax Authorities Tab.

The Address Tab

To enter address information for a New Zealand legal entity:

1. Go to Org Setup > Org Payroll Setup > Legal Entity and select a legal entity.
2. Click the Address tab.
3. Enter information in the following fields as needed:
   • Address
   • Address Line 2
   • Zip / Postal Code
   • Country Code
   • State / Province
   • City
4. Click Save.

The Customer Funding Identifiers Tab

There are no fields requiring special information for New Zealand in this tab so entries can be configured using information and instructions available in The Customer Funding Identifiers Tab in the Dayforce Implementation Guide.

The Payday Filing Details Tab

Important: Pay groups that use ConnectedPay don’t use Payday Filing. If a legal entity uses ConnectedPay, do not make entries for that legal entity in the Payday Filing Details tab.

In the Payday Filing Details tab of the selected legal entity in Org Setup > Org Payroll Setup > Legal Entity, enter details about the legal entity that are sent to the Inland Revenue Department when a payday event occurs. This information is required for committing a pay run in Payroll.

The Payday Filing Details tab has the following fields:

• PAYE Intermediary IRD Number: Number of the intermediary (Dayforce, Inc.) providing payroll services to your organisation. This field requires a valid 9 -digit employer IRD number, as shown in the following screenshot. It can’t be 000000000.
• Name of the Payroll Contact Person: Name of the payroll contact in your organisation.
• Work Phone Number of the Payroll Contact Person: Phone number of the payroll contact in your organisation.
• Email of the Payroll Contact Person: Email address for the payroll contact in your organisation.

The Tax Authorities Tab

The Tax Authorities tab is read-only. No action is required.
