您是否支付了员工的养老金担保(SG)

SG缴款的下一个季度截止日期是7月28日。然而,由于该日期为周末,养老金基金必须在7月29日(星期一)之前收到您的付款。请记住按时全额支付并支付到正确的基金。 如果您每季度未按时支付SG缴款,则需要支付养老金担保罚款(SGC)。这比SG缴款金额要高,并且您无法将其作为税收扣除。 从7月1日起,SG税率已上调至11.5%,因此确保您在7月1日或之后为符合条件的员工支付的款项反映新的税率。 对于截至6月30日的季度,在7月1日之前支付的款项适用11%的SG税率。 SG税率将在2025年7月逐步增加到12%。 如果您需要帮助计算在7月1日之后需要为员工和符合条件的承包商支付的养老金金额: 参考:ATO网站 如需进一步信息,请联系Wiselink会计师事务所
