Dear ATO,
We have a contractor who has nominated a Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF) as their chosen superannuation fund.
We made multiple attempts to obtain the complete SMSF details prior to the super payment due date; however, the Electronic Service Address (ESA) was not initially provided. The ESA details were only received after the due date. When we subsequently attempted to process the payment, it was rejected due to incorrect ESA information.
We would appreciate your guidance on the following:
- If we are unable to obtain complete and valid SMSF details by the due date, should we instead make the superannuation contribution to the employee’s default super fund?
- Given that payment could only be attempted after the due date due to the delay in receiving correct SMSF details, are we still required to lodge a Superannuation Guarantee Charge (SGC) statement, even if the contribution is eventually made?
Thank you for your assistance.
