Does anyone have a step-by-step instruction for me to follow please
Hi @Laurelle Searle Are you an employer (eg with employees on payroll) & is the contractor GST-registered ?
(The most streamlined option is to set the contractor up as an Employee (with no PAYG & excluded from STP). This allows you to keep all the super processing/clearing house payments together 😁 if the contractor is GST-registered though, this option is less favourable as GST can’t be facilitated via payroll)
No, they are not at the moment but that may change is a few months.
@Laurelle Searle
If you'd like to email me direct, I'll send you my help guide I've written up on this ☺️
i will step in here - the ATO has set that all contractors in the media and arts have their super paid by the one that has engaged them for work GST or not - only exemption is if they run as a trust or Pty Ltd - it does not matter if they are on 5 hours a wek on average or 20 hours - it is the same as a blanket ruling..
here is link to ATO - it cannot be dismissed and unless someone able to point out the overhead this causes, there is no way of getting out of this:

Paying SGC on NET payment (eg excl GST) is a compulsory requirement - covering many service-based contractors - & has been for many years @Zappy 🙄
