Here's the problem.
I have few months payslip where it states the following:-
Salary £2000
Gross Pay £2000 , 4000, 6000 and so on.
Later the company changed its policy from deducting pension BEFORE deducting tax and NI . The later two are deducted from the amount after pension.
The payslips after this change indicate this:-
Salary still says £2000
Gross pay then accumulates £1940 onwards from here and is indicated accordingly.
Basically 'gross pay' as mentioned in the payslip has changed bcoz of policy change NOT because of any change in my earnings !
Thanks !
That would be a good evidence esply. for ppl who are tight on earnings points if the employer can do that favour in the firm of properly documented letterchetanojha wrote:Does this affecting your earning band? You can also get letter from your company which can mention actual gross (as it used to be) and net salary. If you can get a letter you don't have to submit payslips and you can sail through.
Yes, it is before tax. Letter from employer would be suffiecient evidence. You do not need to show payslips then. As per Tier 1 guidance notes, you are entitled to claim points on the earnings where it is a contractual obligation on the employer’s part to make these payments.Saga wrote:Hi all,
Unfortunately it does effect my earning band.
Can I ask what is the exact definition of 'gross salary' vis a vis pension ? The guidance notes only say that gross is before tax. There's no mention of pension. What is the generally understood definition in this country ?
Many Thanks !
My employer can give a letter like this. However, I need some clarifications on the letter format.You can also get letter from your company which can mention actual gross (as it used to be) and net salary.

Hi,
I like to know some information regarding my pension salary sacrifice.
My question is how should I calculate my gross income for earnings. Is it before deducting the pension salary sacrifice (PSS) which is contributing from my basic salary (other than company pay) or after?
For example if my gross salary is GBP1000 per month. The pension salary sacrifice is GBP100 per month. Then should the salary be 1000 or 900 pounds. The guidance says gross income before tax will be considered. As all you know in this case, tax is calculated on 900 pounds and not 1000 pounds since pension contribution is tax exemption.
Thanks & Regards

Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you for your enquiry.
Please be advised that gross salary for the purpose of immigration means that the salary that is paid to you before any deductions including any deduction made for pension deduction. In your case this means the salary you have to show is £1000.00 pcm.
I hope that this information will be of assistance to you.
Yours faithfully,
