The ATO enjoys a high success rate when it comes to challenging the treatment of contractors under the superannuation guarantee legislation.
The ATO also has a strong incentive to monitor this area as SG liabilities and penalties can accumulate very quickly.
As the SG amnesty period is scheduled to finish on 7 September 2020, time is running out for employers to identify historical problems and
take advantage of the amnesty. Employers who don’t identify problems and report them to the ATO by this date are likely to be subject to
higher penalties if the ATO picks up on the problem.
In this pragmatic webinar we help you identify arrangements at risk of triggering significant superannuation guarantee liabilities and
explore the steps to minimise that risk. This is an issue that is not going away any time soon.
