🚨 Payday Super is changing from 1 July 2026 🚨

Small business employers will soon need to pay super at the same time as wages — replacing quarterly super payments. Super contributions must reach employees’ super funds within 7 business days of payday.

What this means for your business:
✔ More frequent super payments
✔ Payroll process changes
✔ Greater cash flow planning
✔ Increased ATO visibility through STP reporting
✔ Higher penalties for late payments

⚠️ Important: The Small Business Superannuation Clearing House closes on 30 June 2026, so now is the time to prepare.

How to get ready:
👉 Review your payroll setup
👉 Check employee super details
👉 Set aside super each pay run
👉 Run cash flow forecasts before July 2026

At Shoebox Books (YOUR TERRITORY), as BAS experts, we help small businesses prepare for Payday Super and stay compliant ahead of the changes.

If you missed the 28 April 2026 deadline for paying employee super for Q3 (Jan–Mar 2026), you must lodge a Super Guarantee Charge (SGC) statement and pay the SGC to the ATO by 28 May 2026.
⏳ This is your final opportunity to use the late payment offset for Q3 before the new Payday Super system begins on 1 July 2026 — after that, this option disappears.

A few important things employers should know:

Super obligations may still need to be reported and corrected
The late payment offset will soon no longer be available
Quarterly super payments are ending
Payday Super begins from 1 July 2026
Super will soon need to be paid with every pay run

At Shoebox Books (YOUR TERRITORY), we’re BAS experts and can help you stay on top of payroll, bookkeeping, BAS and super obligations ✔️ while helping you avoid unnecessary penalties and manage your obligations with confidence.

Many Australian business owners still see bookkeeping as just a compliance task… but it plays a much bigger role in your bottom line.
One of the most noticeable benefits of having a bookkeeper for a small business is the immediate effect on your finances.

The right bookkeeping support can help you:

✔️ Free up valuable time – Save 8–12 hours a week spent on admin, so you can focus on growing your business and generating revenue
✔️ Improve cash flow visibility – Up-to-date reporting makes it easier to track income and expenses, identify trends, and avoid surprises. This clarity can help capture early payment discounts (1–2%) and avoid late fees—saving some SMEs $5,000 to $10,000 annually
✔️ Reduce costly errors – Prevent issues like duplicate payments, payroll mistakes, or missed invoices that quietly impact your profits
✔️ Avoid penalties – Staying on top of BAS lodgments, payroll, and ATO compliance is critical. Bookkeepers help prevent fines for late lodgements or superannuation errors—often saving businesses $5,000 to $20,000 annually
✔️ Maximise your deductions – Ensure all eligible expenses are captured so you’re not overpaying tax at the end of the year

A good bookkeeper brings clarity and consistency to your business—and stronger results over time.
At Shoebox Books Kew, we support businesses of all sizes and industries. We know how to keep your numbers working for you, not against you. Give us a call today to book your free consultation.

Payday Super is approaching — and it’s important to consider how more frequent super payments could affect your cash flow. 💡💰

From 1 July 2026, super must be paid with every pay run instead of quarterly — meaning you’ll move from 4 payments a year to potentially 12, 26, or even 52 payments depending on your pay cycle (monthly, fortnightly or weekly).

If your business operates on 30–60 day payment terms or currently relies on quarterly timing for super payments, this change may put pressure on cash flow and reduce flexibility.

Preparing early makes a big difference. Getting ahead puts you in a stronger position, while leaving it until later can make managing cash flow and payment timing far more challenging.

As registered BAS agents, we help you plan ahead and stay in control as these changes take effect.

We work with you to:
• Review payroll processes 📝
• Plan cash flow 💰
• Forecast the impact of Payday Super 📈

So you’re not just prepared — you’re confident in the decisions you’re making 😊

Schedule your consultation today and plan ahead for Payday Super!
