Important changes to Small Business Superannuation Clearing House

The ATO Small Business Superannuation Clearing House (SBSCH) is going through some major changes in February 2018. We have prepared a summary on the changes and how it might impact your business:  

• The current SBSCH system will be available to make super guarantee payment up until close of business Monday 19 February 2018
• There will be no access to current SBSCH from 20 February to 25 February 2018.
• The new SBSCH will be available from 26 February 2018 onwards.
• All of your previous data will be transferred from the old SBSCH system. There will be no need to input employees and their details.
• You will not be able to use current user ID and password to log into the new SBSCH system - these details will be supplied when you choose the new method.
• The new SBSCH system can be accessed as follows:
  • Using an Auskey - if you don't have one already you will need to apply for one.
  • Using your myGov account and logging into the Business Portal - through Manage ABN Connections.
  • Through your tax agent (Roberts & Morrow).
  • Super payment details will also change from the close of business 19 February 2018. Please make sure you make payments using the update provided.
