Late super penalties

What happens if super doesn’t reach employees funds on time?
Bad things happen.

The expense is no longer tax deductible, it is calculated on all payments to employees (like overtime and allowances), fines are payable to the ATO, interest is payable to the fund for the employee, and directors will be personally chased for the payment. Its bad to be just a little late.

ATO says:
Once you become a director, you are responsible for ensuring the company meets its PAYGW, net GST and SGC obligations in full by the due date.
