From 1 July 2022, two important super guarantee (SG) changes will apply to your business: here’s what you need to do.
Stapled super funds start November 2021
From 1 November 2021, if you have new employees start, you may have an extra step to take to comply with choice of fund rules if they don’t choose a super fund. You may soon need to request their ‘stapled super fund’ details from the ATO.
Superannuation Guarantee (SG) increase from July 2021
The current rate of compulsory Superannuation Guarantee (SG) is due to increase to 10% in July 2021. It has been frozen at 9.5% since July 2014 and there have been many arguments for and against increasing SG contributions from the current rate of 9.5% to 12%.
Super Guarantee increase 1 July
The super guarantee (SG) is scheduled to increase from 9.5% to 10% from 1 July 2021. SG is the minimum super an employer must pay their employees.
