Guaranteed allowance separate from gross income

Hi everyone,
Could you please advise me on this:
My gross pay is less than the threshold with £400.
I am entitled to a guaranteed allowance and a lease car which after summing up would exceed the threshold.
My worry is, this is in my pay slip but not summative as my gross pay.
Could this raise a red flag at home office? I really am nervous
Thank you in advance

Hi ,
Thank you for responding. It's Tier 2 General.

Under Tier 2 basic pay is the only thing that matters as only some allowances are allowed:

So what do you reckon as your previous response stated I wasn't entitled to. I read the guidance and it gave specification on what circumstance such allowance are accepted and I fell on that category. The only mishap here is:
As my pay slip shows the allowance and me paying tax on that "but" not lump in to my gross income.

I believe in this case you should be fine. You also still need to answer if you created a second account here or not ??!!
