Amalgamate Superannuation Payments & Upload To Internet Banking

In order to make paying your superannuation contributions to a Superannuation Clearing House (SCH) more streamlined and to assist you in complying with the requirements for SuperStream, you can amalgamate the superannuation payments in Agrimaster into a single payment for the SCH. 

Before you start, ensure you have:

• Registered your business with a Superannuation Clearing House (SCH).
• Entered the details for each of your employees in your SCH.
• Obtained a BSB and account number to pay the super to your SCH.
• Your ATO reference number (If you are using the ATO Small Business Super clearing house).
• Setup internet banking in Agrimaster so that you can send an EFT.
• If you have not done these steps, please refer to the SuperStream Overview.

If Using Wagemaster: 

Before you amalgamate your payments ensure you have: 

• Reconciled your superannuation reports for the period.
• Imported your superannuation payments for the period into EFT section in Agrimaster.
• If you are using the small business superannuation clearinghouse, you will need to enter the values for each of your employees manually each time you pay their superannuation.

If Not Using Wagemaster: 

You will need to:

• Manually create superannuation payments for the period in the EFT Section in Agrimaster.
• If you are using the small business superannuation clearinghouse, you will need to enter the values for each of your employees manually each time you pay their superannuation. 

Please Note: Some other clearinghouses are compatible with imported data from Wagemaster.
