The ATO's small business superannuation clearing house (SBSCH) closure
Important News for Small Businesses: The ATO's Super Clearing House is Closing
If you use the ATO's Small Business Superannuation Clearing House (SBSCH) to pay your employees' super, here's what you need to know:
The Service is Closing: The SBSCH will no longer accept new registrations from 1 October 2025. It will close completely for all users on 1 July 2026.
Why is this happening? This change is part of the government's plan for "Payday Super." In the future, you'll need to pay super at the same time you pay your employees' wages, not just quarterly.
What you need to do now: You must find a new way to pay super before the deadlines. Don't wait until the last minute!
Simple Next Steps
Find a New System: Look for a new way to pay super. Your current payroll software (like Xero or MYOB) might already have this feature.
Use a Super Fund Clearing House: Many super funds offer a free service for employers to make payments.
Talk to a Bookkeeper: A professional can help you choose the right system and make sure you're still meeting your super obligations.Disclaimer
