Our SG compliance results are here

Learn how we've responded to the non-payment of super guarantee (SG) in 2023–24.

.

If you're an employer, you must pay your super guarantee (SG) contributions in full, on time, and to your eligible employees’ correct super fund.

If you don’t pay your employees’ super, you’ll need to pay the super guarantee charge (SGC). This will cost you more than the super you would've paid and is not tax deductible.

We're committed to taking a firm approach on the non-payment of SG and have published our snapshot of 2023–24 SG compliance actions and results.

This snapshot provides a transparent view on the compliance actions we’ve taken so that employees receive the super payments they're entitled to.

You can read the full results at Super guarantee annual employer compliance results.

Key results include:

  • Employers are paying 92.4% of the SG obligations they are required to - without intervention from us.
  • We've collected and paid $932 million of SG entitlements into the super funds of 797,000 employees.
  • Over $1.91 billion in SGC liabilities was raised from employers through ATO compliance actions and SG voluntary disclosures.
  • We've proactively contacted more than 167,000 employers, resulting in $240 million in SGC liabilities raised.
  • We've issued 8,710 director penalty notices relating to 6,500 companies as part of our firmer action response.

As an employer you need to keep good records, report accurately and pay on time.

We have a range of support resources to help you, including our simple checks for super success checklist and superannuation guarantee eligibility decision tool.

Late & Problem Returns

This is when people or businesses are late with their BAS statements, Tax Returns and have been accruing debts such as fines and interest to the ATO as they have ignored the ATO.

I have been extremely successful in reducing tax debts in these instances. Two examples:

One client came to us owing $220,000 and 3 years behind. I brought all their BAS and tax return up-to-date and obtained a reduction of $160,000 in penalties and interest. We then entered them into a repayment program for the $60,000 which they have just finished paying off.

Another client had 18 months BAS outstanding and two years of tax returns. He had a tax debt of $62,000 with penalties. I was able to get a reduction of $37,000 in fines and penalties leaving him with a debt of $25,000 of which he still owes $5,000.

Both clients are very happy with these outcomes. Also, after I obtained the reductions and kept them up-to-date with their BAS and Tax Returns they have not only kept up repayments but have managed to ensure that all current BAS and payments have been kept up to date as well.

If you find yourself in a similar position then we are most likely able to help.
