Notice of Withdrawal

Superannuation Guarantee Determination SGD 94/3 is withdrawn with effect from today.

1. Superannuation Guarantee Determination SGD 94/3 provides that the SGAA does not apply to Norfolk Island. The determination explains that a Norfolk Island resident employer will not be required to make superannuation contributions for salary or wages paid to a Norfolk Island resident employee for work done in Norfolk Island.

2. Schedule 2 to the Tax and Superannuation Laws Amendment (Norfolk Island Reforms) Act 2015 (53 of 2015) amends the SGAA to remove the superannuation guarantee charge exemptions that apply to Norfolk Island employers and employees in relation to work performed on Norfolk Island from 1 July 2016, bringing them fully into Australia's superannuation guarantee system.

3. Accordingly, SGD 94/3 has no application for the 2016-17 income year and later income years and is therefore withdrawn.
