ATO to be provided with more super guarantee information

Oct 9, 2017The Money EdgeAccounting and Tax, Bookkeeping0 Comment

The Government has announced a package of reforms to give the ATO near real-time visibility over superannuation guarantee compliance by employers.

The Government will also provide the ATO with additional funding for a Superannuation Guarantee Taskforce to crackdown on employer non-compliance.

The package includes measures to:

  • require superannuation funds to report contributions received more frequently (at least monthly) to the ATO, enabling the ATO to identify non-compliance and take prompt action;
  • require employers with 19 or fewer employees to transition to single touch payroll (‘STP’) reporting from 1 July 2019;
  • improve the effectiveness of the ATO’s recovery powers, including strengthening director penalty notices and use of security bonds for high-risk employers, to ensure that unpaid superannuation is better collected by the ATO and paid to employees’ super accounts; and
  • give the ATO the ability to seek court-ordered penalties in the most egregious cases of non-payment, including employers who are repeatedly caught but fail to pay superannuation guarantee liabilities.

Following extensive consultation when STP was originally announced, it was decided that employers with 19 or fewer employees would not be required to comply.

Given the backflip here, the business community will be hoping the Government does not introduce compulsory real-time payments of Superannuation Guarantee and PAYG withholding, as well as real-time reporting.
