What if I’m in a duo/trio or band?

If you are in a duo, trio or band and you are invoicing under an individual/soletrader ABN entity and your invoices are coming directly from just one member of the group (under their personal ABN), as explained above we are obligated to deduct 9.5% from the performance fee and pay into that person’s individual superannuation account.

HOWEVER, if your duo, trio or band is registered as a partnership or company and invoices under this, no superannuation obligation will arise and its business as usual – with no deductions to your fee. If you do decide to apply for an ABN as a partnership, you can do so via the following link: https://www.business.gov.au/registrations/register-for-an-australian-business-number-abn
