Watch the new video on what you need to do now

ATO’s videoOpens in a new window outlines the key steps you should take now as an employer.

Plan your cash flow

Moving from quarterly payments to paying super each payday may affect your cash flow rhythm. This is especially important in July, because you may have your:

• usual April to June quarterly super payment
• first Payday Super payments (which could be 4 extra payments if you pay your staff weekly).

Act now and make a plan to manage your cash flow.

Find a new provider as the SBSCH is closing

Current Small Business Super Clearing House (SBSCH) users should be aware it’ll permanently close on 1 July.

Look for an alternative provider now. ATO’s Get ready for the SBSCH closure checklist outlines what you need to do to prepare. You can also read the article on how to download your records.

Don’t wait! 1 July and the start of Payday Super isn’t far away. Taking action now will save you time later and set your business up for success.
