With the looming deadline of 30 June, one-third of Australian small businesses (SMEs) are not SuperStream compliant, according to a cloud-based business management solutions provider.

MYOB's latest research found one-quarter were unaware of the deadline, 17 per cent of operators had not yet complied, and 13 per cent were unsure.

These figures were the highest amongst construction and trade businesses with 31 per cent of SMEs not compliant, the data said.

More than a quarter of operators who were not compliant said they found the process confusing, and 23 per cent felt they did not have enough information.

MYOB general manager of SME solutions, James Scollay, said: "SuperStream is the law for SMEs from 1 July, and it's concerning to see so many at risk of non-compliance with the deadline just a few weeks away".

"Employers need to be taking action now to ensure they get their implementation right by 30 June," he said.
