Information needed for End of Financial Year Reporting
At the end of each financial year, you will need the following information for your end-of-year accounts:
- gross pay for the 12 months before your balance date,
- gross KiwiSaver contributions for the year, and
- total leave liability on your balance date.
Where do I access this information?
You can easily access this information in Thankyou Payroll from your Employee Report. Follow this link to find out more about Employee Reports and all the data they contain.
From the Dashboard, go to Reports/Archive and select 'Employee Reports' from the dropdown menu. This will take you to the Employee Reports page where you can access the needed information.
The information you need is displayed first in the report, before each employee's year summary:
- Gross pay total for the 12 months before your balance date.
- Gross employer KiwiSaver contributions for the year.
- Total leave liability on your balance date.
- The CSV file download provides a full break down of the leave liability information. This can be requested for any date and will give you the leave liability based on the pays that have been processed from 1st April to the date entered.

Quick Reports for End of Financial Year Reporting
Another way to access information for your EOFY reporting is through Thankyou Payroll's Quick Reports.
Quick Reports can give you information on PAYE, pay day filing and leave liability in addition to other information. Follow this link to find out more about Quick Reports.
The Quick Reports cover the nine most frequently requested report types, so all you have to do is select the report for information you need.
You can select:
- the date range for the report,
- the employee/s you wish to include in the report (present and past employees), and
- the information you wish to export.
Once exported you'll be able to open the file in Excel or another spreadsheet program.
Information in Thankyou Payroll vs Xero
As you look at your EOFY reports, you may notice that the date of payment to Thankyou Payroll does not match the month when this payment was filed to IRD.
This is because the payroll period a pay is filed into is based on the pay day in Thankyou Payroll, not the date of payment to Thankyou Payroll.
*To ensure your last pay day for FY25-26 is filed within this financial year, your pay must be funded by Monday 30th March for a pay day no later than Tuesday 31st March 2026.
