A question on super for subcontractors with ABNs, researched from primary sources into a draft advice
3:56 · English narration- FediPilot prepares
- Takes a question asked in plain words about whether a business owes super for subcontractors who each have an ABN, and reads the client's email, agreements, invoices and payment spreadsheet. It then opens the superannuation guarantee legislation, the ATO ruling and guidance and the High Court and Full Federal Court decisions, naming each one as it reads it, and answers in the chat. It works through a follow-up question about a new clause that would let a worker send someone else, then drafts an advice document on the practice letterhead: the answer in brief, quoted passages with numbered citations, a rating for each worker with the reason, the figures it worked out and a list of authorities.
- You review
- The advice is yours. You read the draft against the legislation, the ruling and the decisions, check the quotations and the figures, add any authority or guidance it did not cite and settle the position. As the registered tax agent you take responsibility for the advice, sign it and send it yourself.
