If you have filed an Employer monthly schedule (IR348) and then wish to amend some information on it, you can complete an Employer monthly schedule amendments (IR344) form and send it to us. You can get one from our website or by phoning INFOexpress on 0800 257 773 (have your IRD number handy when calling).

If there are a small number of adjustments you can call us on 0800 377 772 to have them updated over the phone - you will also need your IRD number handy.

If you file your EMS electronically, you will still need to make amendments manually by calling 0800 377 772 or by completing an IR344. This is because the data transfer system can't process more than one EMS a month from each employer. The second EMS will show as a duplicate and will not be processed.

Enter your business name, IRD number and the period that you are changing, on the top of the IR344. To amend an employee's pay details write in the employee's name and IRD number, the figures you originally sent in, and what these should be changed to. We need this information so we can match your details. You can amend up to three employees' details per form.

Example

After checking your wage records you see that you transposed the PAYE amount for one employee. Enter the employee's full name, IRD number and PAYE amount on the "original details sent" line. Below, in the "changed to" line, you only need to enter the amended PAYE amount. If an employee's details were missed off your EMS, complete the "changed to" line only.
