Agents: Multiplayer Acts - Player Invoices Paid by Agency

Performer eligibility — ATO guidance reviewed 13 October 2026

An ABN, invoice, hobbyist status or retirement does not automatically remove super obligations for individual performers. Check legal liability for the performance payment and any applicable exception. Hot Giggity’s entity setting and invoicing model must reflect the actual engagement; they do not decide legal liability.

Read the eligibility and responsibility guide or the ATO performer guidance (updated 16 September 2026).

Audience: Agents (hirers)
Applies to: Multi-member acts (duo, trio, 4-piece, etc.)

Why this matters (value you can market)

Per-player invoices can make fees and super clearer. However, a single band invoice does not itself decide legal liability. Confirm whether the Act Owner is acting for the group as an agent or hiring Players in their own right. Required super must reach the appropriate individual funds; super paid to one member’s fund cannot simply be redistributed as cash to satisfy obligations to other Players.

Equitable outcomes: every player’s super is funded correctly and on time.
Less admin for acts: no chasing splits, no re-invoicing, no manual SG redistribution.
Clearer records: per-player fees and super can be matched to the confirmed engagement, invoice and fund.
Stronger agency pitch: “We take the hassle out of paying your players’ fees and super -accurate, on-time, per player.”

Use it to win acts: multi-player acts want confidence that everyone is looked after. This feature is your proof.

What it does (at a glance)

Per-act, per-agency toggle -applies to future bookings you create for that act.
One invoice per Player, with SG shown using saved entity and booking settings. Confirm the responsible party under the engagement; the invoice model does not determine that liability.
Act owner keeps control -lineup, splits, invites, subs; players see only their own fee.
Per-player invoices make fee and fund allocations easier to check where the hirer is responsible under the actual engagement.
SG is GST-free and never added to GST base.

Who can turn it on? Both Agents and Act Owners (for their relationship). If either party enables it, bookings created after that change follow the player→hirer model.

Where to turn it on

Manage → My Act Roster → (⋯) → Update Invoice Setting → “Act Player Invoices paid by Agency” (toggle ON) → Save.

Scope & timing

Affects new bookings/requests for that act created by your agency after it’s ON.
Doesn’t change completed gigs.
Independent per act, per agency (enable for some acts but not others).

What happens on a booking (when ON)

You create the booking; act owner accepts.
Act owner invites players and sets per-player fees (splits).
HG calculates each player’s invoice fee and SG (if Sole Trader with super details).
Players accept.
You receive one invoice per player showing fee (+ GST if registered) and SG (GST-free).
Your Super I Owe ledger lists each player’s SG so you can pay each fund directly.

In the default invoicing workflow, the Act Owner invoices the hirer and the Players’ super appears in the Act Owner’s Super I Owe ledger. Use this allocation only where it matches the confirmed engagement and legal responsibility. A genuine agency arrangement can require different allocations; contact support if the display does not match.

Setup checklist (before using it)

Each player’s Legal Entity set (Sole Trader / Company / etc.).
Sole-trader players have Fund name, ABN, USI, Member number saved.
- Verify via Manage → My Act Roster (green ✓ Super Details Added) or ⋯ → View Super Account Details.
Venue-level default (optional): decide if bookings should start Inclusive or Plus super; you can still switch on the booking.

Sales/marketing toolkit (copy & paste)

Elevator pitch (30s):

Where our engagement makes us responsible for each Player, we can use per-player invoicing and arrange their required super to the relevant funds. You retain control of the lineup and splits. We confirm the arrangement before enabling the workflow.

Website blurb:

Per-player pay & super, handled. Hot Giggity lets our agency route invoices per player so super is paid at source to each sole-trader’s fund. It’s fairer for your lineup, faster for you, with clearer records for checking obligations.

Email to a prospective act:

Hi [Act Owner],
for multi-member shows we can enable player-to-hirer invoicing. Each player sends us an invoice; Hot Giggity calculates their super automatically (if they’re a sole trader) and we pay their fund directly. You still control lineup and splits—no SG redistribution later. Want us to enable this for [Your Act]?
Cheers, [Agent]

One-liner for proposals:

We take the hassle out of paying your players’ fees and super—accurately, on time, per player.

FAQs & edge cases

SG appears only for sole traders; companies/trusts don’t trigger SG.
Missing super details? Booking can proceed, but payment may be delayed for that player until details are provided (HG flags this).
Inclusive vs Plus super? Your choice on the booking; SG remains GST-free in both.
Rounding? Per-line rounding; totals reconcile to the cent.
Who can toggle? Both agent and act owner; affects future bookings only.
