Any way to add super detils to invoice in SOLO?

Howdy!

 

I'm freelance with a company and I do regular contract work with them. They pay me superannuation, which is 11.5% of my fee. I am onaorded with them adn I think they are required to by law.

 

I can't seem to find a way to add super details in SOLO. It has to be seperate tot he total fee on the invoice - the super contribution is not part of my fee, rather it's a contribution to that account seperately. If thatmakes sense.

 

Am I missing something or is there any workaround for this? Kind of makes SOLO unusable for me if I can't add super.

    Hey daveiscool​

    You’re right that Solo doesn’t currently include payroll features like superannuation contributions. It’s designed for sole traders without employees, so super payments aren’t part of the invoicing flow.

    That said, we do have a helpful guide that covers how sole traders often manage this side of things:
    👉 How to pay yourself as a sole trader

    Just a heads-up - we can’t offer financial advice, as we don’t know your business setup. It’s always best to check in with your accountant or financial adviser if you're unsure how to handle super in your situation.

    That being said, one possible workaround in Solo could be to record the super contribution as a manual adjustment. You could do this by entering a Money out transaction to reduce the account the super is coming from, and then a Money in transaction to show it arriving in the relevant account. This won’t affect your invoicing but can help reflect the movement of funds for tracking purposes.

  • Mm I see. Thanks.

     

    Seems like it woud be a fairly simple feature to implement? Just another option on the "add item" button and section for super account details on the invoice. Just as some feedback from me :)

     

    Current workaround is I have just added the super as another normal item on the invoice, and put my super account details into the notes section. The super amount then still goes into the total of the invoice which is a bit annoying, but they will have to just look at that and cut it out on their end. Then when I do get paid, I will go into the "record payment" on the invoice in the app and change the amount paid to what the fee actually was (I will minus the super from the total). And hopefully that will work and then my records will be accurate.

     

  • I ended up just moving all the super stuff into the notes section and that works fine, not sure why I didn’t think to do that earlier.

    Like I put the super amount to be paid and the super details in there and then it doesn’t come into the total of the invoice, it’s just a note.

     

    Thanks
