How Do I Submit Payday Filing As An Intermediary?

Lightning Payroll can submit Employment Information and retrieve returns as an intermediary when you are filing on behalf of another employer.

How to use intermediary mode

1. Open the payday filing or mailbox screen.
2. Tick Submit As Intermediary.
3. Enter the intermediary IRD number.
4. Click Connect to IRD and sign in as the intermediary account in myIR.
5. After the token is saved, click Check for token and then continue with the submission or retrieval.

Important points

• The intermediary IRD number is required when this option is ticked.
• The intermediary IRD number must be valid, or Lightning Payroll will block the submission.
• When intermediary mode is enabled, always complete the browser login using the intermediary myIR account, not the employer account.

If you are not filing as an intermediary, leave this option unticked and connect using the employer's normal IRD access.
