# Venues: Act Player Invoices Paid by Venue
### 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).
**Audience:** Venues (hirers)
**Applies to:** Multi-member acts (duo, trio, 4-piece, etc.)
---
### 1) Who this is for
Venues that book multi-member acts and want **each player to invoice the venue directly**, while the **act owner keeps control** of lineup, splits, invites and subs.
---
### 2) Why this matters
A single invoice does not by itself decide who owes each Player’s super. If the Act Owner acts as a genuine agent for the group and that arrangement is understood by the hirer, the principal may owe SG for each eligible Player. If the Act Owner contracts in their own right and separately hires Players, both the hirer’s payment to the Act Owner and the Act Owner’s payments to Players may create SG obligations. Pay required contributions to the relevant funds; do not assume super paid to the Act Owner’s fund satisfies obligations to other Players.
Hot Giggity solves this with player-to-hirer invoicing: SG is calculated and shown per player, and supports payment to each Player’s fund where the Venue is responsible under the confirmed engagement.The act owner still controls the booking, splits, invites and subs - you just receive one invoice per player and pay each player’s SG fairly and on time.
---
### 3) What it does (at a glance)
- **Per-act, per-venue toggle:** **applies to future bookings your venue creates for that act.**
- **Player → Hirer invoicing:** **you receive one invoice per player; SG (12%) is calculated per eligible sole trader and shown so you can pay each fund directly.**
- **The act owner remains in control,** managing the lineup, splits, invites, and subs; players only see their own fee.
- Per-player invoices make fee and fund allocations easier to check where the hirer is responsible under the actual engagement.
> **Note:** **Act owners** can also enable/disable this for their acts with your venue. If **either party** turns it **ON**, bookings created **after** that point follow the player-to-hirer model.
---
### 4) Where to turn it on
**Path:** **Manage → My Act Roster → (⋯) → Update Invoice Setting → “Act Player Invoices paid by Venue” (toggle ON) → Save.**
### 
---
### 5) Scope & timing
- Applies to **current andfuture** bookings/requests **for that act** created by **your venue** after the toggle is ON.
- Does **not** change completed bookings.
- Independent **per act, per venue** (enable for some acts, not others).
- Artists can also toggle it; the **latest saved state at booking creation** is what applies.
---
### 6) What happens in a booking (with toggle ON)
1. You create the booking for the act; the act owner accepts.
2. The act owner invites players and sets **per-player fees** (splits).
3. Hot Giggity calculates each player’s **invoice** amount and **SG** (if Sole Trader with fund details).
4. Players accept.
5. You receive **one invoice per player** showing:
- **Fee** (+ **GST** if the player is GST-registered)
- **SG** (**GST-free**) in the **SG Payable** panel so you can pay **direct to that player’s fund**
6. Your **Super I Owe** ledger lists each player’s SG for reconciliation and payment.
---
### 7) Comparison: When toggle is OFF (default)
- You receive **one invoice from the act owner**.
- 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.
- Players are paid by the **act owner**, not by the venue.
---
### 8) Legal/compliance notes
- **SG is GST-free** and must be paid to each eligible **sole-trader** player’s fund.
- If a player hasn’t provided fund details in HG, **invoice payment may be delayed** for that player until details are supplied (include your PO/booking clause).
- Keep **invoices + SG payment confirmations (PRNs)** with your records for audit.
---
### 9) Edge cases & FAQs
- Mixed entities: select each payee’s actual legal structure. Company, trust and genuine partnership payments differ from individual payments, but those entities may have their own obligations to Players.
- **Missing super details:** Booking can proceed, but the player’s payment/SG may be **delayed**; HG flags missing details.
- **Inclusive vs Plus:** You still choose the fee model per booking; SG remains **GST-free** either way.
- **Rounding:** Per-line rounding; totals reconcile to the cent.
- **Who can toggle?** Both **Venue** and **Act Owner** for their relationship. Changes affect **future** bookings only.
