The ATO has confirmed that the Small Business Superannuation Clearing House (SBSCH) will close permanently on 1 July 2026 as part of the Payday Super reform.
If you currently rely on the SBSCH, the ATO is strongly advising businesses not to wait until 1 July to transition. Planning and action should begin now to ensure you can continue meeting your super guarantee obligations without interruption.
Before 1 July, you will need to:
- Choose an alternative super payment method (for example, your payroll software, a commercial clearing house, or your super fund’s clearing service).
- Switch to the new method as soon as possible to ensure payments are processed correctly and on time.
- Save a copy of your superannuation payment records from the SBSCH, as access will cease once the service closes.
