Super guarantee amnesty: Now is the time to get payroll right
The superannuation guarantee (SG) amnesty provides employers with a one-off opportunity to "self-correct." Now is the time to ensure that your payroll is correct and there are no hidden SG issues looming.
The amnesty applies from 24 May 2018 (the date of the original announcement) until 6 months after the legislation receives Royal Assent. Employers will have this period to voluntarily disclose underpaid or unpaid SG payment to the Commissioner of Taxation.
The amnesty applies to historical underpaid or unpaid SG for any period up to the March 2018 quarter.
To qualify for the amnesty, employers must disclose the outstanding SG to the Tax Commissioner. You either pay the full amount owing, or if the business cannot pay the full amount, enter into a payment plan with the ATO. If you agree to a payment plan and do not meet the payments, the amnesty will no longer apply. The amnesty only applies to "voluntary" disclosures.
