I was told by my accountant EndureGo Tax that if I pay the superannuation late, I can not claim the deduction of the superannuation guarantee, is it true, they had shown an article on their website [ link removed by moderator]
Hi @Happyman and @Silverrain
That is true. Not being able to claim a deduction is a consequence of paying super guarantee late or missing payments. When this happens you need to lodge a super guarantee charge statement and pay a super guarantee charge.

This confused me too. Waiting for the answer...
Superannuation guarantee is deductible if paid on time, however, the superannuation guarantee must be paid to the nominated member fund account by the 28th of the following quarter end, if not, then you got until the 28th of the next month to do the Superannuation Guarantee Charge Statement, we had wrote an article on this topic and a detail explanation please have a look. https://www.endurego.com.au/deductibility-of-the-superannuation-guarantee-payment/
