setting up a contractor to pay superannuation
Need some help setting up one sub contractor to pay superannuation. The business is a Sole Proprietor so owner is not taking a "salary" or paying herself superannuation but she has someone help her do cleaning.
Not sure how to set up her payroll as she is not a "company"
Any assistance is appreciated.
Hi Earl,
Thanks for your assistance. Yes, it was my understanding that the amount at W1 should not include the amount that was salary sacrificed to super, hence my initial question.
Just to update and in case anyone else experiences this issue, I have now spoken with the ATO, who confirmed the amount (pre-filled through STP) at W1 should be $0.00 (the post-salary sacrificed to super amount). The ATO have advised me to override the incorrect amount reported at W1 when submitting BAS.
Here is the relevant ATO information https://www.ato.gov.au/tax-and-super-professionals/for-tax-professionals/tax-professionals-newsroom/salary-sacrifice-reporting-and-activity-statements
Kind regards,
