Less paperwork when hiring

Less paperwork when hiring

It’s time to say goodbye to the multiple paper forms that have been required when hiring a new employee.

Simply ask your new hire to use the pre-filled Tax file number declaration and Super Choice form via the ATO online services account linked through their myGov login.

All you need to do is provide the employee with:

  • your ABN
  • the type of employment they will be hired under (e.g. full time, part time or casual)
  • your nominated default super fund’s details, including:
    • the fund’s full name
    • the fund’s unique superannuation identifier (USI)
    • the fund’s ABN.

Once the employee prints and sends the completed form summary you can:

  • determine how much tax to withhold from their payments
  • pay super into their chosen fund.
  • keep it for your records (you don’t need to send it to the ATO).
