268-10(1A)
For the purposes of this Division, your superannuation guarantee charge for a * quarter is treated as being payable on the day by which you must lodge a superannuation guarantee statement for the quarter under section 33 of the Superannuation Guarantee (Administration) Act 1992 , even if, on that day, the charge has not been assessed under that Act.

In the case of an underlying liability under section 16-70 (requirement to pay to the Commissioner amounts you have withheld under the Pay as you go withholding rules), the Commissioner may have regard to information about amounts you withheld under the Pay as you go rules before the period in relation to which the underlying liability arose.
