SuperStream Factsheet

SuperStream Factsheet

20 March 2016

The way employers pay superannuation contributions is changing with the introduction of SuperStream. This article outlines all the information an employer needs to know to ensure they are compliant.

What is SuperStream

SuperStream is a package of reforms designed by the government and being implemented by the ATO, with a goal of improving the efficiency of the superannuation system. The SuperStream reform is designed to enhance the ‘back office’ of superannuation with new processes of managing data and payments that business owners have to comply with when making superannuation contributions for their employees.

SuperStream requires employers to make superannuation contributions on behalf of their employees by submitting data and payments electronically in accordance with the SuperStream standard. 

With less than six months until SuperStream becomes mandatory, now is the time for small businesses to make the change and ensure their system is running smoothly before the deadline.

2015 Australian Cotton Crop Analysis Released

9 March 2016

The 2015 year was generally an ideal irrigated cotton season in terms of weather. Enough heat, rainfall at ideal times, with low levels of prolonged cloud and cold shock days all contributed to a very kind season for growers, according to the recently published Australian Cotton Comparative Analysis report.

The analysis is conducted annually by Boyce Chartered Accountants, the largest regionally based accounting firm in Australia, in conjunction with the Cotton Research and Development Corporation (CRDC).  

The 2015 analysis is the eleventh report to be produced by Boyce and CRDC.  From 1986 to 2004 the report was published independently by Boyce.
