Key Information

  • Super payments due: 28th after each quarter (must be received by fund, not sent)

Pro Tips

  • Set recurring reminders for all major due dates at the start of the year.
  • Check for state-specific payroll tax obligations early.
  • Don’t leave lodgements to the last day—ATO portals can be busy.

Avoid These Mistakes

  • Misunderstanding ‘received by’ vs. ‘sent by’ date for super payments.
  • Missing state-specific tax deadlines.
  • Assuming a weekend/holiday extends every due date (verify each time).

Disclaimer: Information is general in nature. Always confirm deadlines on the official ATO and state government websites.
