As we move towards 1 July 2026 and the kick off for Payday Super regime things seem reasonably quiet based on the level of Q&As being received from members on the TaxEd Q&A portal.
We hope this means everyone is across what is required and steadily moving towards being ready for the new regime.
The ATO has published some useful resources that may be of interest.
Firstly, the ATO has released a Payday Super checklist. This should be a useful tool either as a cross check that your organisation’s current approach hasn’t missed anything or as guide to getting ready.
With the closure of the ATO’s Small Business Superannuation Clearing House (SBSCH), the ATO has also produced some material to assist employers who will be required to transition to a new superannuation clearing house. These resources can viewed here.
The ATO reminds employers that used the ATO SBSCH of the need to download records before it closes (30 June 2026) and that it cannot be used for April-June superannuation payments (due 28 July) as it will be closed.
The ATO suggests employers should transition away from the ATO SBSCH well before it’s closure, for example by making the January-March 2026 superannuation payments (due 28 April) the last ones made through it with all records downloaded and alternative arrangements for future super payments in place.
