Beam makes the changes simple.

ATO SBSCH is closing. Payday super is coming.

Get ahead with Beam

From 1 July 2026, the ATO’s Small Business Super Clearing House (SBSCH) will close for good and every employer using the SBSCH will need a new way to pay super.

At the same time, the government’s payday super will officially take effect, requiring employers to pay super at the same time as wages.

No more quarterly contributions
Tighter timeframes
Heavier penalties if you fall behind
Compliance risk – shorter payment deadlines mean less room for error
Increased admin – more frequent payments mean more work, unless automated

Our automated super payment solution is connected seamlessly into payroll software, pays multiple funds in one click, and keeps you compliant ahead of payday super when it comes in.

What this means for businesses that use SBSCH

Find a new clearing house

With the SBSCH closing, consider Beam as a smarter super payment technology – automated, compliant, and built to handle contribution for employers of all sizes with ease.

Transitioning early is essential

Waiting until mid 2026 to make the switch could leave you scrambling, especially if you need to change payroll providers or implement new systems. Making the move now allows you to test processes, train staff, and iron out any issues so you’re ready when payday super starts.

Expect tighter timeframes

Quarterly super payments will soon be a thing of the past. With payday super legislation, you’ll need to pay super at the same time you run payroll, which means updating processes to manage paying your team’s super more frequently.

Your options to replace SBSCH

There are two main ways business owners can manage super payments after July 2026.

Payroll software with built-in super payment features

Best for: employers with staff in multiple funds, or those who want automation, compliance certainty, and minimal admin

Beam-connected payroll systems make super payments easier and cut down on admin for busy business owners.

How ART clearing house can help:
