NESS Super is a switching-off paper Contributions Returns for employers from 1 January 2017

With the vast majority of employers now paying into NESS Super via electronic means in order to meet the Government SuperStream requirements (which requires all employers to pay via an approved electronic format from 28 October 2016), the need for the paper based Contributions Returns being sent out to employers each month or quarter, will no longer be required.

As a result, NESS Super will not be mailing paper Contribution Returns to employers registered with NESS Super to receive paper Contribution Returns from 1 January 2017, resulting in the final paper Contribution Returns mailed to employers in December 2016.

The removal of the paper Contribution Returns will not only help employers meet the Government SuperStream requirements (by moving to an approved electronic format) and making payments super simple, but will also reduce printing costs (which benefits NESS Super members) and helps the environment – mailing thousands of paper Contribution Returns uses a lot of paper and fossil fuel!

So, if you are an employer who is using the paper Contribution Returns for your superannuation payments with NESS Super or any other superannuation fund, you will need to update to an approved electronic format to meet the Government SuperStream requirements by 28 October 2016.

Please contact us on 1800 022 067 as soon as possible to assist you to update to a SuperStream compliant electronic format. This can be either NESS Super “EmployerAccess” (if paying only to NESS Super), or the SCH Online clearing house facility (if paying to multiple superannuation funds), AT NO COST TO EMPLOYERS! Please see the NESS Super website http://nesssuper.com.au/employers/forms-publications/ and click on the “SCH Online” tab for more information.
