ATO's Small Business Clearing House

ATO's Small Business Clearing House

The ATO’s Small Business Superannuation Clearing House (SBSCH) will permanently close on 1 July 2026. From 1 October 2025, no new businesses will be able to register — only current users can keep using it until the final shutdown.

This change is part of the government’s new Payday Super rules, which require employers to pay super on payday, at the same time they pay wages. Because of this change, the ATO has decided the SBSCH is no longer suitable and will shut it down.

If you're currently using SBSCH, you’ll need to find another way to pay super for your employees — and ideally, one that meets the new payday requirements.

Why Use CloudPayroll to Manage Your Super Payments?

We’ve made it easy for you to stay compliant with the new rules and take the stress out of super payments. Here’s why managing super through CloudPayroll is a smart choice:

Set-and-forget super payments - Super is automatically paid when you run payroll. No more logging in to different systems or remembering deadlines — once it’s set up, you don’t need to think about it.

Handle refunds with ease - If a payment is returned, the refund goes straight back into your bank account. We will also notify your team by email.

Flat pricing - Simple, affordable pricing — you only pay for what you use.

Fully compliant - CloudPayroll is SuperStream-compliant and fully updated with all Payday Super rules, so you can be confident you're meeting your obligations.

Saves time - Our system removes the need for manual data entry, spreadsheets, or chasing up failed payments. This saves time, reduces errors, and keeps your payroll team happy.

Clear reporting - You’ll have access to easy-to-read reports showing which payments have gone through, which were rejected, and any refunds issued — giving you full visibility and control.
