As of 1 July 2026, all employers must pay their employees' super contributions as part of their salaries and wages.
No need to wait until July 2026 to start making changes to your Super contributions.
Things to start checking now:
Please review all employee superannuation details to ensure they are accurate. Suggestion would be to ask that all employees confirm and sign off on the information you have on file to verify that the details listed below are correct.
Minimum required information:
First name.
Last name.
Date of birth.
Address.
Tax File Number.
Australian Business Number.
Superannuation fund name and number.
For SMSF's confirm ESA and bank account details.
Important: The ABN on the STP2 file, must match the ABN on the super file for the ATO to successfully match the data. (If you pay your Salary and Wages from a different ABN to your Super payments, this will need to be addressed before submitting your STP)
