Key ATO Dates | April 2024

Preparing and lodging tax statements and returns due in April 2024

Keeping on top of key ATO compliance dates each month is important to ensuring you meet lodgment deadlines.

We've provided you with the key ATO dates for April 2024 below:

7 April

• Lodge and pay March 2024 monthly payroll tax.

16 April

• For all businesses using a clearing house to make super guarantee contributions for quarter 3, 2023-24, payments must be processed by this date to ensure payments are received by funds on time.*

21 April

• Lodge and pay March 2024 monthly business activity statement.

28 April

• Super guarantee contributions for quarter 3, 2023-24  must be received by funds by this date.*

*Note:  

• Employers who use a clearing house, such as the Auto Super function in Xero, payments are only counted as being paid on the date the fund receives it, not the date the payment comes out of your account.  We have been advised by Xero that they recommend allowing eight business days to process super payments.  In real terms this means you need to have processed all super payments by the 16 April 2024.

• Employers who do not pay minimum super contributions for quarter 3 by this date must pay the super guarantee charge and lodge a Superannuation guarantee charge statement by 28 May 2024
