Quick Start: Get Super-Ready (Artists)

Audience: All artists on Hot Giggity — soloists/DJs and act owners who manage multi-player acts.

Part A - Everyone: set your Legal Entity & (if Sole Trader) super details

Visit: Manage → My Personal Profile → Financial → Superannuation

1. Legal Entity
   Choose: Sole Trader, Company, Partnership, Trust, or None/Other.

   • This determines whether the Superannuation Guarantee (SG) applies to you.

2. If you’re a Sole Trader, complete all super fields and Save:

   • First name, Last Name

   • Date of Birth

   • Tax File Number (TFN)

   • Fund name (search and select)

   • Product Name (search and select)

   • Fund ABN and USI (these will be auto populated)

   • Member number

Why this matters: Hirers must pay SG (12%) for sole traders. If your details aren’t in Hot Giggity, payment of your invoice may be delayed until you provide them.
Privacy: Details are used only to calculate/show/pay SG correctly and are visible only to authorised payers.

Part B - Soloists / DJs / single-performer entertainers

How your invoice works

• Your Artist → Hirer invoice shows your fee (+ GST if you’re GST-registered) in the total.

• If you’re a Sole Trader, the invoice displays an “SG Payable” panel below the totals with your SG amount and fund details.

  • SG is not included in the invoice total; the hirer pays it directly to your fund.

• SG is GST-free (GST applies only to your taxable fee).

Your quick checklist

1. Legal Entity set correctly.

2. If Sole Trader: All details, including Tax File Number, Fund name, ABN, USI, Member number, are saved.

3.  Banking details current so the fee can be paid without delay.

4.  (If GST-registered) ABN and GST status up to date.

Part C - Multi-player acts (for act owners / band leaders)

Step 1 — Build your lineup once

Visit:  Manage → My Acts → Edit Act → Lineup

• Add each player/role (e.g., Vox, Guitar, Bass, Drums).

• Invite players (search or invite by email).

• Set default splits (% or fixed $). You can override per gig.

• Ask each player to complete Part A (entity + super).

• Full guide on setting up your act line up here.

Step 2 — Choose the invoicing model for each agent/venue

Hot Giggity supports two models. You can configure this per act, per agent/venue which then applies to existing and future bookings that agent creates for your act.

1. Default - Act Owner invoices the hirer

   • You invoice; you pay players.

   • If any players are sole traders, you will owe SG for them (12%).

   • See your Super I Owe ledger for amounts to remit to each fund. See full guide here.
     
     

2. Optional (industry-first) - Players invoice the hirer

   • Each players' invoice is sent to the hirer.

   • SG calculates per eligible player and is paid directly to each fund by the hirer.

   • You still control lineup, splits, invites, and subs; players only see their own fee.

   • Either you or the agent can enable this; if either turns it on, future bookings follow this model.

   • See the full guide here.
     

     
     

Responsibilities at a glance

• Act Owner invoices model:

  • You pay players; you may owe SG for sole-trader players.

  • Keep player fund details current; pay SG by the due dates.
    
    

• Player→Hirer model:

  • Hirer pays each player and their SG directly; you do not owe SG for those players.

  • You still manage the lineup and splits; no SG redistribution admin later.
    
    

Multi-player checklist

1. Every player has Legal Entity set.

2. Sole-trader players have Fund name, ABN, USI, Member number saved.

3. Lineup complete; default splits saved (override for each gig if needed).

4. Invoicing model agreed with the agent/venue: Act Owner invoices or Player→Hirer.

5.  Understand who pays SG under the chosen model.

FAQs

Is SG ever subject to GST?
No. SG is GST-free. GST applies only to taxable fee items.

If a player hasn’t added their super details yet?
The booking can proceed, but the invoice or SG payment may be delayed for that player until details are provided. Ask them to complete Part A.

Can we mix companies and sole traders in one act?
Yes. SG appears only for sole traders; companies/partnerships/trusts don’t trigger SG.

Need help?

If something looks off (missing SG panel, wrong amount), check:

• Legal Entity is correct; and

• For sole traders, fund ABN/USI/Member number are saved.
