Changes to superannuation
From 1 July 2021, the superannuation guarantee increased to 10% for eligible employees.
From 1 November 2021, where new employees don’t choose a super fund, most employers have to check with the Australian Taxation Office if their employee has an existing super account, known as a ‘stapled super fund’, to pay the employee’s super guarantee into.
