The Australian Taxation Office's (ATO) extended deadline for employers to adopt SuperStream is approaching and those that miss it could face penalties, the ATO warns.

A small percentage of medium and large employers are still not compliant to the super contribution system, the ATO national program manager, data standards and e-commerce (SuperStream), Philip Hind said.

"Over 90 per cent of medium and large businesses are now using SuperStream to make their super contributions," Hind said.

"From 1 November we will be focussing on employers who have been identified as non-compliant with SuperStream.

To avoid penalties employers must be compliant by 31 October.
