Hi All,
I am an Australian under 28 looking to apply for a HSMP visa.
I will qualify if I can make the 27000 pound threshold. My base salary is just not enough to take me over that amount.
However, as part of my salary package my employer pays me 9% superannuation payment - which is in effect - deferred income. This is compulsory under Australian law and is factored into salaries that companies pay employees.
With this extra 9% I am above the threshold.
This extra 9% is clearly stated on all my pay slips, though this payment is not subject to income tax (it is subject to a different tax at a lower rate).
I have read many posts trying to ascertain if super payments can be counted though have seen no definitive answer.
I would greatly appreciate anyone who can let me know if superannuation payments can be counted in the past earnings category.
Thanks for your help!
