[Superannuation (Australia Only)](https://help.hotgiggity.com/hg-support/venues?hsLang=en-au#superannuation-australia-only) # Venues: Quick Start to Get Super-Ready ### 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:** Venues (hirers) **Goal:** Make sure SG (12%) is shown, tracked, and paid correctly and on time. --- ### 1) Check that every artist has super details in HG Artists add their own super details in their profile. You can verify from your roster: **Path:** **Manage → My Act Roster** - Click **⋯ → View Super Account Details** to see **Fund name, ABN, USI, and Member number**. > If details are missing for a sole-trader artist, **payment of their invoice may be delayed** until the details are provided. --- ### 2) Choose the fee model on each booking (venue view) On the booking sheet you’ll see a single toggle: - **Fee includes super (ON)** → **Inclusive**: the gig fee you enter already contains SG. HG backs out the SG portion (GST-free) and GST applies only to the taxable fee. - **Fee includes super (OFF)** → **Plus super**: the gig fee is the bank amount; SG (GST-free) is **added on top**. ### Notes: - Confirm the actual entity being engaged. Payments to a company, trust or genuine general-law partnership are treated differently from payments to individuals. The entity may still owe super to Players it engages. Retirement and hobbyist status do not themselves exempt individual performers. --- ### 2.5) Optional: Per-player invoicing for duos / bands (player → hirer) This mode lets **each player** send you their own invoice so SG is **paid per player at source** (fair, transparent, and lower admin for the act). - Either the **act owner** or the **hirer (agent/venue)** can enable it **per act / per relationship**; once enabled, **future bookings** for that act follow the player→hirer model. - You’ll receive **one invoice per player**; each sole-trader player’s SG (GST-free) is shown so you can pay their fund directly. - Read the full guide on per-player invoicing and why it matters here. --- ### 3) Understand the Artist invoice you’ll receive You receive **Artist Tax Invoices** only. - Invoice total = artist’s fee (+ GST if they’re GST-registered). - An SG Payable panel appears below the totals for sole-trader artists, showing the SG amount (no GST) and fund details. - SG is not included in the invoice total; you pay it separately to the fund by the due date. --- ### 4) Track & reconcile SG in Super Ledgers **Path:** **Super Ledgers → Super I Owe** - Filter by Month / Quarter / Custom. - Use Related Invoice to spot-check rows. - Export CSV for clearing houses or Sync With Xero (Venue Pro). - Mark items Paid after remitting (keep PRNs/confirmations). **How-to:** [Pay Super with Xero (AU Payroll) — Venues](https://20228549.hs-sites.com/hg-support/venues-pay-super-with-xero-au?hsLang=en-au) --- ### 5) When do I actually pay SG? - 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. - Complete setup and collect the required super details before the next payment. Check the fee model for each booking and submit contributions promptly. --- ### 6) Email template to request artist details (copy/paste) **Subject:** Action needed: Super details in Hot Giggity Hi **\[First name\]**, To comply with Australian super laws and keep payments on time, please log in to Hot Giggity and update your Legal Entity and (if you’re a Sole Trader) your Superannuation details. Vist: Manage → My Personal Profile → Financial → Superannuation - Sole Trader → add Fund name, ABN, USI, Member number and Save. - Company/Partnership/Trust/Other → set Legal Entity accordingly. Please complete this by \[date\], before your next payment, so we can arrange any required super contribution within the Payday Super timeframe. Contact us if you need help completing your details. Thanks, **\[Your Name\]**, **\[Venue\]** **\[Phone\]** | **\[Accounts email\]** --- ### 7) Suggested clause for your bookings (optional) *Where the performer is a Sole Trader, the hirer pays Superannuation Guarantee (SG) to the performer’s nominated fund. The performer agrees to provide accurate superannuation details (Fund name, ABN, USI, Member number) in Hot Giggity prior to invoice approval. If details are not provided, the venue may delay invoice payment until supplied. The performer indemnifies the venue for delays or penalties arising from failure to provide accurate and timely superannuation details.* --- ### 8) Quick audit checklist 1. Roster sweep: sole-trader artists show **Super Details Added ✓** (or you’ve requested details). 2. Staff understand the **booking toggle** (Inclusive vs Plus). 3. You know Artist invoice behaviour (SG panel **not in total**). 4. **Super I Owe** workflow is clear (CSV/Sync With Xero; mark Paid). 5. Payday Super deadlines are tracked for each eligible payment, including clearing-house processing time. ### Got questions?
