Set up deduction categories for superannuation payments

If your employee makes additional superannuation payments, like salary sacrifice super, or personal super contributions, you might have set them up as deductions on the Additions/Deductions tab.

To ensure that these amounts are included in superannuation payments made through MYOB's super portal, you need to make sure they are assigned to one of the two new superannuation deduction types:

Super salary sacrifice - use for any salary sacrifice super contributions, taken out of the employee's income before tax is calculated.
Super personal contrib'n - use for personal super contributions taken out of the employee's after-tax income.

When you pay superannuation through MYOB's super portal, the ATO needs some details about each of the employees you're paying. Before you can start paying superannuation, you need to make sure you've completed all the required details for each employee you pay super to.

There have been some changes to the way employee records are organised. For each employee, you'll probably need to add some new details and re-enter some information that you previously entered on a different tab.

See Pay superannuation for more information about what else you need to do before you can start paying super.

Can't enter employee superannuation details?

There's an issue in Microsoft Edge, the web browser in Windows 10, which prevents employee details being entered. Until this is fixed, you'll need to enter employee details using a different web browser, like Chrome or Firefox.

Why do I need to do this?

The ATO's data requirements for complying with SuperStream are stricter than what you could previously enter in MYOB Essentials. By re-entering the details on this tab, you can make sure the details comply with these requirements. For example, you can no longer simply enter the fund name - if the employee is with an APRA-regulated super fund, you need to choose one of the approved funds from the list.
