Hi @mills1979,


You'll need to correct the figures reported in your STP. The current & prior years will need adjusting to ensure data matching is correct.


When you refer to SGL, just to clarify terminology, do you mean:

The impact on you and your employee/s depends on what was actually paid to the employee’s super fund. If the correct super contributions were paid on time, this is a reporting error. This means, there would typically be no impact on the employee’s super balance and no SGC consequence.

Hi Kara, sorry I meant the SG. For example, we reported to the ATO Employer Contribution of $20,000, but we only paid $15,000 to the super fund. We did not underpay the superannuation in any way, they received the correct amount, it was just what we reported to the ATO in previous FY incorrectly. There will be no impact on the balance of SGC.

Do we need to correct this for previous years? What can the potential impact be if we do not? To the Employee and the Employer (we will of course fix it if you say it needs to be)

Hi @mills1979,


Thanks for confirming - Yes, best to correct the figures in your STP. It will cause confusion and may trigger a review later on.


A registered tax or BAS agent can help you correct this if you're unsure.
