养老金基金“绑定”(Super fund stapling):雇主必须了解的三件事

自“养老金基金绑定”(super fund stapling)政策实施以来,雇主在为员工缴纳退休金(super)时承担了新的责任。以下是每位雇主都需要了解的三大要点。

1. 员工的养老金基金将随其“绑定”

“绑定”意味着员工的养老金账户会跟随员工,而不是随着其更换工作而改变。

如果员工没有主动选择养老金基金,您(作为雇主)需要向澳大利亚税务局(ATO)查询该员工是否已有一个“绑定”的养老金账户。如果员工已有绑定账户,您必须将养老金缴入该账户。只有在员工没有绑定账户的情况下,您才可以使用默认基金(default fund)

2. 雇主必须主动查询员工的绑定基金

当员工未填写“选择基金表”(standard choice form)时,雇主需要采取以下步骤:

  • 登录ATO在线服务(通过商业门户)
  • 提交“绑定基金请求”(stapled super fund request)
  • 获取员工的绑定养老金账户信息

    这一流程是强制性的,不能跳过。如果您未按要求查询并使用员工的绑定基金,而是直接使用默认基金,可能会面临合规风险。

    3. 不合规可能带来财务处罚

    如果雇主未遵守“绑定基金”规则,可能会产生以下后果:

    • 被认定未履行养老金保障义务(Super Guarantee obligations)
    • 需支付养老金保障罚款(SG charge)
    • 可能面临额外罚金和利息

    因此,确保流程合规不仅是法律要求,也能避免不必要的成本。

    “养老金基金绑定”政策的核心目标是减少员工因频繁更换工作而产生多个账户,从而降低费用损失并提升退休储蓄效率。对于雇主来说,关键是不要默认使用公司基金,必须先确认员工是否有绑定基金,并严格遵守ATO流程。

    Trust Minimum Tax 2028: The Election Instead of Restructuring

    Treasury released the draft legislation for the 30 per cent minimum tax on discretionary trusts on 3 September 2026, and submissions close on 18 September. The rate and the 1 July 2028 start date were already known. What is new is a third option: a trust in existence at 1 July 2028 can elect to make fixed distributions to pre-nominated beneficiaries and avoid the minimum tax, with no restructure and no stamp duty expected. One condition cancels it, and revocation costs a year at the top marginal rate plus Medicare levy.
