Good day, naveen.nanda.

 

You'll want to add the contractor as a supplier in QuickBooks.

 

Here are the steps:

  1. On the left panel, click Expenses and then select Suppliers.
  2. Select New Supplier.
  3. Enter the supplier information and select Save.

Then, create an expense to record the payment for super. Note: You still have to pay the superannuation outside of QuickBooks Online. 

 

Once done, you can deposit the payment directly to the Superannuation account.

 

I'll be around if you have any additional questions related to this concern. Thanks.

I face this same issue, however my contractors super company "Australian Super" says they can no longer accept direct payments and they need to be paid via payroll system, I have Beam setup for employees however there is no option to add in contractor commitments. Is there another way to add contractor super?

Hi kb9381-

 

Is the contractor's super contribution a fixed amount, or is it accrued based on the hours he works ad hoc for your business?
