# Artists: what happens when you add super in Hot Giggity
### 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](https://20228549.hs-sites.com/hg-support/superannuation-compliance-how-hot-giggity-supports-it?hsLang=en-au) or the [ATO performer guidance](https://www.ato.gov.au/businesses-and-organisations/super-for-employers/work-out-if-you-have-to-pay-super/super-for-sportspeople-performers-film-makers-and-related-activities) (updated 16 September 2026).
### Payday Super update — effective 1 July 2026
> For eligible payments made on or after 1 July 2026, pay super each payday. Contributions generally need to reach the worker’s super fund within 7 business days after the related payment, subject to applicable exceptions. Submit promptly and allow for clearing-house processing time.
>
> Quarterly date filters remain useful for reporting and reconciliation, but do not permit you to defer current super payments until quarter-end. [Read our Payday Super payment timing guide](https://20228549.hs-sites.com/hg-support/superannuation-compliance-how-hot-giggity-supports-it?hsLang=en-au).
**Audience:** Solo artists and act owners using Hot Giggity
**Applies to:** Sole traders who add/update legal entity and super fund details
---
### TL;DR
- Switch your **Legal Entity** to **Sole Trader** and add your **super fund**
- Your **future bookings** are recalculated so the old gig fee becomes a **Performance Fee (includes super)**.
- Your invoices will show your Invoice amount**(ex-GST)** as the line item, with **super added separately** at the bottom (GST-free).
- You can track what’s owed to your fund in **Super Ledgers → Super Owed to Me**.
- If you pay other sole-trader players, use **Super I Owe** to track contributions you must remit.
---
### 1) Update your details
In **Settings → Financial**:
1. Set **Legal Entity** to **Sole Trader**.
2. Select your super all details and your **super fund** (Fund name/USI/member number).
3. Save. You’ll see a confirmation banner that your bookings will update to reflect SG.
Hot Giggity will also notify venues/agents you work with that super now applies to your future bookings.
---
### 2) How your future bookings are recalculated
For all **forward bookings** where you are the act owner:
- The previous “gig fee” is treated as your **Performance Fee (incl. super)**.
- Hot Giggity splits it at the current SG rate (12% from 1 July 2025):
- **Invoiceable labour (ex-super)** = Performance Fee ÷ **1.12**
- **Super owed to your fund** = Performance Fee − labour amount
**Example:** Performance Fee $1,120 → Labour $1,000; Super $120.
**GST (if registered):** GST applies to the **labour line only**; the **super line is GST-free** and excluded from GST.
> Past/completed gigs don’t change. Only future-dated bookings are recalculated.
---
### 3) What changes on your invoices
After you update your details, each affected invoice will automatically:
- Show a **gig line item** equal to your **invoiceable amount (ex-GST)**.
- Add a **separate Superannuation** section at the bottom (GST-free).
- If you’re GST-registered, **GST is calculated only on the labour** amount.
---
### 4) Where to track your super
Main Menu**→ Super Ledgers**:
- **Super Owed to Me**
See every booking where a payer (venue/agent/act owner) owes super to **your** fund. Use the **date filter** (month or custom) to review a period. Items marked as **Paid** once marked by the payer.
- **Super I Owe** *(act owners paying other sole-trader players)*
If you engage sole-trader players and you’re the payer, their super shows here. Use this list to reconcile contributions via your clearing house or payroll.
> For eligible payments made on or after 1 July 2026, pay super each payday. Contributions generally need to reach the worker’s super fund within 7 business days after the related payment, subject to applicable exceptions. Submit promptly and allow for clearing-house processing time. The payer is responsible for meeting the deadline.
---
### 5) Multi-performer acts (quick guide)
- If your band includes **sole traders**, super will be calculated per eligible person.
- If you enable **per-player invoicing**, each sole trader’s invoice will be sent to the hirer (agent/venue) for payment of the gig fee and the players' SG.
- Companies/Trusts don’t trigger SG when paid for their services (no super amount for them).
---
### FAQs
**Do I need to resend invoices?**
If an invoice for a **future** booking has already been issued, you’ll be prompted to **refresh/re-issue** so everyone’s records match the new split.
**What if I’m not GST-registered?**
Your invoice simply won’t show GST; the **super line remains GST-free** either way.
**Will this change my agreed total?**
No - the agreed **Performance Fee** stays the same. It’s just split into **labour** (paid to you) and **super** (paid to your fund).
**Can I see who owes me super right now?**
Yes - go to **Super Owed to Me** and filter by date or status.
