Hi, this might be a bit silly but I wanted to double check.


On my tax return, the "taxable income" that is automatically reported seems to include superannuation (from the super guarantee).


Does this mean my employer made a mistake and I should re-calculate my taxable income minus the super? Because if I calculate from the wages paid into my bank account, it is far less.


Should I also be including or excluding the taxes withheld/PAYG shown on my payslips or just the total cash I have received into my account?


There is no additional income apart from my employer, nor benefits/payments or other super contributions.


Thank you

  1. Taxable income = cash received + PAYGW deducted
  2. SG is not included in taxable income
  3. If SG has been included, then employer needs to amend payroll
