A PAYE Intermediary is a government-approved provider that handles PAYE tax deductions and IRD payments for businesses. It helps keep you compliant, saves you time, and reduces financial risk.
Backed by Datacom, a trusted PAYE Intermediary in New Zealand, our PAYEI service takes care of your IRD filing and payments securely through Datacom’s trust account, helping your business stay compliant.

Smartly PAYEI is ideal for:
If IRD compliance keeps you up at night, this is your solution.
With both options, you still run your own payroll in Smartly, and we take care of payday filing to IRD.
Full Service (with PAYEI): We’ll automatically pay your staff from your business bank account, and handle IRD payments (PAYE, KiwiSaver, student loans and more) securely through Datacom’s trust account.
Calculator only: Smartly calculates staff payments, PAYE, KiwiSaver, student loans and other deductions, but you’re responsible for making the payments manually.
Yes – Smartly and Datacom take care of all your payday files and payments, but for other matters outside of payroll, such as GST, Company Income Tax, etc, myIR will still be part of your regular communication channel with IRD.
No – there’s no extra Smartly fees to switch. Some banks may charge transaction fees, which could appear on your Smartly invoice or be charged directly by your bank. Chat with our team to get switched over - helpdesk@smartly.co.nz or 0800 101 038
