with Alexi Boyd, broadcaster, advocate and small business owner.
Date: 3 December 2019
Superannuation - firstly it’s not your money and secondly if you get it right; there’s no need for us to get involved. That’s the message the ATO is trying to get across to small business. If you pay the correct amount, to the right place, at the right time... there’s nothing to worry about. But if you miss the deadline or the you haven’t checked all the details then the headache isn’t worth it.
Are you aware of the deadlines and what that means for super payments? Did you know you still need to meet those deadlines if you’re an employee? Did you know your payment is late if it bounces back? Super doesn’t have to be an administrative headache if you know what your obligations are. Plus there’s plenty of places to get help, advice and support small business it’s just a matter of knowing where to look
The when, the how and the what of super obligations for small business is all explained in this interview with the Alexi Boyd from Small Biz Matters and John Ford, the Assistant Commissioner for Risk & Strategy - Employer Obligations at the Australian Tax Office.
Welcome to the show John.
Topics we’ll be covering:
