ATO SBSCH closure – Important information for Reckon Accounts Hosted users

Rav

Hi everyone

As you may know the ATO Small Business Super Clearing House (SBSCH) will be closing on 30 June 2026. After this date, you will no longer be able to access your SBSCH account or its services.

If you are still using the SBSCH and haven't already made the move, its important that you do so now.

Important info

Payments to the SBSCH

If you're still using the SBSCH, any payments made for current lodgements must be received by the ATO by 30 June 2026.

You must factor in payment processing timeframes when making any outstanding payments.

Any payments received by the ATO after 30 June 2026 will be refunded.

If a payment is refunded, you are still responsible for meeting your
super guarantee obligations.

Exporting information from the SBSCH

You will not be able to access your SBSCH account from 1 July 2026. If you wish to export any information from the SBSCH, its important that you do so before that date or they will no longer be accessible.

The ATO have provided information on how to download information from the SBSCH HERE.

thanks you very much

I processed my first Payday Super last week, but when I attempt to upload the Reckon Extract File via the CFS Bulk Contribution option, I receive the following error message:

The message is very odd as it refers to HTML, which relates to websites not a csv text file.

This was raised several times with CFS last week and they have yet to identify/rectify the cause of the problem.

Am I best to revert to manual input of contributions?

Hi @MASaccounts

Can I just check, did you open the SAFF file prior to uploading it to the CFS clearing house?

Alternatively, do you have any information added within an employee profile that is being inadvertently read as an HTML element? Likely, something that may be wrapped in <> brackets
