AU Payroll - Pay Contractors in payroll, include GST and calculate/track superannuation

Invoices submitted by contractors - Xero should have a tick box where we can tick 'I need to pay super on this invoice' and it tracks and records contractor super owing.

    Agree, this would be very useful. If it helps anynone: the way I calculate super owed currently is to run an 'Account Transactions' report and filter the results by Contact Group type 'Carpenters'. I then ensure all non-employee carpenters are added to the 'Carpenters' group from within their Contact settings. Under Grouping/Summarising dropdown I select Contact. Export the Excel file and apply the 12% formua. It's a bit of a workaround but it works for me.

    I support this. We are not going to manage with payday super without this option activated.

    Please bring in this option - we desperately require before payday super

    Yes. I'm constantly having to manually do this and it's a nightmare!!!. Xero have gone a small step towards it with the non-employee type but haven't completed the task to allow us to calculate super automatically for contractor employees where they invoice us but we still have to pay them super.

    I Agree, if we have agreements for subcontractors to be paid on hours then we should be able to upload their timesheet and have payment made in a pay run to match tax requirements as set out with the ATO and subcontractor

    Contractor employees (super payable)

    It would be helpful to be able to enter/ link a contractors invoice to their pay template in xero payroll, allowing for the following:

    1) Their invoice can be paid and expense allocated to correct expense account
    2) GST calculated and correctly allocated to be included in GST reporting (if gst registered)
    3) Their super calculated on the payable amount (GST Free portion)

    Hi,
    It would be great to be able to pay contractors (who are paid Super) in Payroll and have an option for GST. I feel the Contractor payments aren't user friendly for most small business as they have subcontractors and contractors where only GST is added and no PAYG tax is deducted.
