The IR920 is the form that provides Thankyou Payroll the authority to act on behalf of your business with the IRD as PAYE Intermediary.
Updated: August 2023
Completing the IR920 is the crucial step that links Thankyou Payroll and your business at the IRD. This is a legal form, so should be completed fully and correctly.

Until Thankyou Payroll receives a signed IR920, we are not linked as your PAYE Intermediary at the IRD so will not be able to do your pay day filing. Please make this form a priority.
