How each deal type treats super

Under subsection 12(8) of the Superannuation Guarantee (Administration) Act 1992 a person paid to perform music is treated as an employee of whoever is liable to pay them, ABN or not. The ATO guidance "Super for sportspeople, performers, film makers and related activities" (QC 107606, rewritten 28 August 2026) sets out the four positions this form uses.

• Apportioned. A band leader who contracts in their own right is paid super only on their own performance amount, and is liable for the super of the players they pay (Example 12). Net = amount ÷ 1.12, super = amount − net.
• Full super. The whole fee is treated as the head performer's own performance and super is paid on all of it to their fund. Suits a solo act, or when Code One would rather not apportion.
• Company, trust or partnership. No super is payable on a fee paid to one of these entities (Example 1). Only a general law partnership with its own ABN counts; a few individuals each with their own ABN do not.
• Door deal. Where Code One and the act run the show as a shared venture, Code One collects the door, deducts agreed costs and its share, and passes on the act's share, no fee is being paid for the performance and no super is payable (Example 14). A guaranteed minimum would be a fee, so none is offered under this deal type.

An agency's booking is never "private or domestic", even for a wedding (Example 13). This page is a template prepared with Balanced Financial Services and is not legal advice.
