HSMP Tier 1- Previous Earnings - Employer CPF Contribution

[ramana111]

Dear Admin,
I am working in Singapore as a permanent employee. I am planning to apply for HSMP Tier 1 visa.
I have a query on my previous earnings.

My basic salary is including employee CPF(Central Provident Fund) contribution.
Employer CPF contribution is paying by my company in my case.This amount also showing in my payslip separately.
In my pay-slip when showing the gross salary, Employer CPF amount does not taken into consideration.Employer CPF amount is showing in my pay-slip separately.
So, can i show my Gross salary as Basic salary (including employee CPF contribution) + Employer CPF contribution?
Can I show my yearly travel allowance also in my gross salary when I am claiming points on previous earnings?

Kindly let me know.

Many Thanks in Advance.

Best Regards,
Ramana.

Dear Admin,
CPF means Central Provident Fund.

Technically, employer contribution to provident fund is not your income because it is not earned by you as "income" in the 12 months under consideration .. it is a contribution that goes into a pension fund that you may be able to withdraw later / when you retire (i.e. - in the future).

Employee contribution to provident fund, on the other hand, is your income because you contribute to the fund from your (salaried) income.
