The Government’s Payday Super reform which is expected to close the annual $5.1 billion gap of unpaid super is proposed to commence from 1 July 2026. This means that employers will have only 7 calendar days after payday – when ordinary times earnings (OTE) are paid – to ensure that the super contribution is received by a fund.

This will be a huge ‘generational’ change to processes for the ATO, super funds and especially for the less well-resourced employer.

The ATO will be able to quickly match employer Single Touch Payroll data and superannuation fund reporting to identify employers not meeting their obligations.

Employers will have to ensure that their payroll systems (and cashflow) are ready to handle the more frequent contributions.

The new 7-day due date for contributions means that employers will become liable for the Superannuation Guarantee (SG) charge and penalties if contributions are not made on time. While payroll software can be acquired to handle the accelerated processes, the employer will have to know what their tax and super obligations are when hiring and paying workers.

In this session, we consider both what has changed and what hasn’t changed, including:

the need to classify a worker as an employee or independent contractor also having regard to s. 12 of the SGA Act
what constitutes OTE
due date for payment of SG contributions and consequences of failing to pay on time
changes to reporting obligations
the updated SG charge assessment
dealing with late contributions
transitional changes

This webinar will be presented by one of TaxBanter’s experienced tax trainers.
