Unpaid Superannuation Guarantee? Amnesty: Pay Now and Avoid SG penalties

Are you a business owner struggling to fulfill your superannuation guarantee (SG) obligations? The Turnbull government has introduced an amnesty program for all outstanding SG payments. This initiative provides a significant opportunity for small business owners to rectify their unpaid contributions without facing penalties.

Typically, employers failing to meet superannuation guarantee (SG) requirements incur various penalties, including the shortfall of compulsory super payments, interest on forgone investment returns for employees, and administrative fees. Moreover, delayed payments cannot be claimed as expenses, adding to the financial burden.

One of the most significant penalties is the potential for employers to be liable for penalties of up to 200% of the shortfall on any SG payments owed to their employees.

Acting promptly is crucial. The superannuation guarantee (SG) amnesty offers a rare chance to avoid fees and penalties, but action must be taken within the next twelve months. If you’ve missed superannuation guarantee (SG) payments since July 1, 1992, you could qualify for this concession.
