Previous Earnings calculation: base salary + bonus?

[lucasgf]

Hi All,

There's something that is not quite clear to me regarding how should I calculate my gross income for the period which I'll be claiming points.

In case of salaried employment, what do the caseworks consider?

- your base salary only
* or *
- your base salary plus any bonus salaries and awards that your company may have paid you

I'm asking this because my wage slips show all bonuses and awards that I received during the claimed period.

Could someone please shed some light here?

Many thanks!!!!
Lucas.

I am waitng for the same answer. Another question is, is the bonus should be taxable or not?

your base salary plus any bonus salaries and awards that your company may have paid you

I confirmed it and they said as long as bonus showing on salary slip they will consider it.

As long as the bonus salary is reflected in the payslip then there will be no problem and you can claim it.
