Superannuation for quarter 4, 2026
Due date for payment of super guarantee contributions for quarter 4 (1 April – 30 June 2026)
- Super guarantee contributions need to reach your employee’s super fund by this date – it’s important that you leave enough time for your super payments to reach and be processed by your employee’s super fund, especially if you’re using a clearing house.
- If you don’t pay minimum super guarantee contributions for quarter 4 by this date, you must lodge a Superannuation guarantee charge statement – quarterly and pay the super guarantee charge to us by 28 August 2026 to avoid additional penalties.
- You can’t offset contributions you have paid late for this quarter.
The quarterly super guarantee charge is more than the super guarantee you would have normally paid and is not tax deductible.
