ATO Small Business Superannuation Clearing House (SBSCH) Closure

From 1 October 2025, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) officially closed the Small Business Superannuation Clearing House (SBSCH) to new users.
Thanks to the efficiencies of Xero, this change does not impact Xero clients, as Xero includes its own built-in auto-super functionality. This means employers can make superannuation payments directly through Xero—without needing to access the ATO’s separate clearing house service.
Key Dates and Details
- No new users: From 1 October 2025, the SBSCH stopped accepting new registrations.
- Full closure: The SBSCH will be fully decommissioned on 1 July 2026.
- Existing users: Businesses currently using the SBSCH can continue until 30 June 2026 but are encouraged to transition to an alternative solution before this date.
At Clear Vision Accountancy Group, we highly recommend Xero as an efficient, streamlined, and ATO-compliant payroll and superannuation solution.
If you’d like to discuss transitioning your business to Xero, call our team today on (07) 4688 2500 — we’re happy to help.
