Reminder of December 2024 Quarter Superannuation Guarantee ('SG')

Employers are reminded that employee superannuation contributions for the quarter ending 31 December 2024 must be received by the relevant super funds by 28 January 2025. If the correct amount of SG is not paid by an employer on time, they will be liable to pay the SG charge, which includes a penalty and interest component.


The SG rate is 11.5% for the 2025 income year.
