Compliance strategy
The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) provided an update on its Payday Super compliance strategy, outlining its risk-based approach to supporting employers to meet their obligations, correct genuine mistakes early and address higher-risk non-compliance.
ATO
An implementation update was provided showing continued strong employer adoption of Payday Super. Indicators remain strong including qualifying earnings reporting, increased contribution volumes and low error rates across the system.
Industry
Members shared early implementation experiences, including:
- administrative impacts
- contribution processing and reconciliation
- data quality
- self-managed superannuation fund contribution issues
- member verification requests.
Members noted that increased transaction volumes were generally being processed successfully across the ecosystem.
Discussion highlighted the need for continued collaboration across:
- employers
- funds
- clearing houses
- gateways
- software providers
- and intermediaries to address emerging operational issues and support consistent implementation of Payday Super.
