Which Employees Belong in an AIS Submission?

AIS generally covers employment income for all relevant employees, even when their earnings fall below the personal tax threshold.

Source checked · 11 October 2026

Include the relevant employee categories

Include full-time, part-time and non-resident employees, directors, paid board members, pensioners and former employees receiving income such as share gains during the reporting year. Consolidate records for someone who leaves and rejoins in the same year. Use the foreign employee’s FIN rather than a work-permit number.

Avoid duplication and distinguish owners

Exclude income already assessed through tax clearance; report additional unassessed income through additional IR21. Business drawings of sole proprietors and self-employed partners are excluded, while a genuinely employed salaried partner belongs in AIS. A non-resident director receiving only director fees has a specific exclusion. Compulsory educational attachments with only qualifying subsistence allowances also have an exclusion.
