“The ATO is pleased that more than 75 per cent of small businesses are already SuperStream-compliant; however, there is still a way to go to ensure everyone has made the switch,” said ATO assistant commissioner Nicole Dykstra.
“If small businesses haven’t adopted SuperStream by the deadline, they are at risk of being non-compliant.
