When to use this form

You can apply to transfer your paid parental leave to your self-employed spouse or partner either at the time you apply for paid parental leave or at any time while you are receiving your paid parental leave payments.

To transfer your payments to your self-employed spouse or partner:

• your spouse or partner must qualify for parental leave from their self-employment - see the first page on this form for more information.
• you must have completed a Paid parental leave application for an employee (IR880) if you're an employee or a Paid parental leave application for a self-employed person (IR888) if you're self-employed.

If your spouse or partner is an employee rather than self-employed then complete the Paid parental leave transfer to an employee (IR881).

You need to fill in your statement and/or self-declaration by hand and some information from your chartered accountant or a Justice of the Peace must also be filled in by hand, including signatures. Once you have completed the form it is important that you print it out as you will not be able to save the information you enter into the form.

You can get the application forms for paid parental leave (IR880 and IR888) from "Forms and guides".

What you will need

This form has four sections that must be filled in. 

You (the applicant) must fill in the first section and sign your statement in section 4.

Your spouse or partner's chartered accountant must complete their contact information in section 3 and confirm your spouse or partner's information in the "Chartered accountant's statement" in section 4.  If your spouse or partner doesn't have a chartered accountant, they must make a self-declaration witnessed by a Justice of the Peace, solicitor or other person authorised to take a statutory declaration.
