The ‘contributed superannuation’ column is prepared on a cash basis using contributed superannuation as defined as follows:

  • For individuals that are in a defined contribution scheme (e.g., PSSap), 'contributed superannuation' should include the defined contribution amounts. This amount is typically located on the individual’s payslips, or
