Hiya @tkc90 👋
Your employer sends your pay, tax and super details to the ATO every time they pay you, via Single Touch Payroll. The ATO publishes that data from your employer as your Income Statement. At tax time, when your employer notifies the ATO that they've finalised your data, the ATO show that Income Statement as Tax Ready and pre-fill it into your tax return 😉
If you have a look at your Income Statement, you will probably see an amount at RESC (reportable employer superannuation contributions) that are comprised of salary sacrifice to superannuation and any other super guarantee (SG) contributions that your employer paid that you influenced. That hyperlink to the ATO guidance (above) explains how it's used by government.
It's a good idea not to delete items on your tax return, as it comes from your employer and they understand the ATO requirements about what to report and how to classify it 🤓

Thanks Deanne.
So, as I understand it is the super amount my employer paid above the standard super guarantee (SG).
if that’s the case, it makes a lot of sense.
i will make sure not to delete stuff in future 😊
Tnx, and apologies for the late reply.
Read that hyperlink I provided to RESC. It's amounts of SG contributions above the minimum legal obligation that were influenced by the employee, such as salary sacrifice, amounts you negotiate for yourself, above what others get. Yes, please don't delete things because you don't understand them 🤓 Deanne
