AU Payroll - Allow Withholder Payer Numbers (WPN) for Automatic Superannuation
Clients who are not eligible for an ABN but have a PAYG withholding obligation (e.g. people who employ domestic help) have to register the ATO for a Withholder Payer Number (WPN) so they can deduct and remit PAYG. The SBSCH has enabled super stream for holders of WPNs but that is closing 1 July 2026. Xero STP/Auto Super currently requires an ABN for registration - please make use of a WPN possible.
