Payday Super is right around the corner!

From 1 July 2026, your employer needs to pay super contributions at the same time they pay your salary or wages, so the contributions reach your nominated account within 7 business days.

There are some exceptions. For example, the first super contribution for a new employee will need to be made within 20 business days of their salary or wages being paid.

The Australian Tax Office is responsible for implementing the new rules and is the best source of info about the changes. Keep up to date on their website: https://www.ato.gov.au/businesses-and-organisations/super-for-employers/payday-super

- any entry-level rate that applies to the first 6 months (or less) of employment must be at least $978.10 per week or $25.74 per hour.

We are excited to announce that our team have the capacity to service additional Self Managed Superannuation Fund clients.

If you are interested in an obligation free consultation, we welcome those that have an already established SMSF to book a meeting via our website:

www.staysharpaccounting.com.au

We can also refer those looking to establish a new SMSF to a local financial adviser. If that’s something you are interested in, book a general consultation to discuss your ideas and learn more about managing your own Super. If you and your circumstances are suitable, we can work with your financial adviser to establish an SMSF and look after you and your fund moving forward.
