Superannuation is a hugely political issue in Australia and around the world in all its varying forms.
Regardless of your political persuasion, everyone recognises the importance of workers building retirement savings in order to reduce the strain on Government Social Security systems in the future, given the aging worldwide population.
So this means the rules around management and payment of superannuation for your employees (potentially including yourself) are strict with limited room to move or discretion available to regulators to let you off when the wrong thing is done.
It also means it is high on the hit list of the ATO.
So don’t run the risk of getting it wrong. There are real consequences, not least of which you can lose the right to claim a tax deduction for what is a very considerable business expense!
