Council tax support / income figure if pension is salary sacrifice

Options
What do you use as income figure if pension contributions are paid via salary sacrifice. If I use my p60 figure this is after pensions have been taken off. In which case I guess I don't put anything in the pension contributions box? Or do I use income off payslip and then take off pension contributions? So basically not use my p60 figure?

    even your payslip should indicate you net earnings after pension, tax and NI are deducted

    They will more than likely require payslips rather than use a P60 as that isn't up to date.

    Your pay slip will show the pension along with your pay on the earnings side, normally pensions are on the deduction side so the assessor will add it back on to the pay then take 1/2 of it off again, IYSWIM.

    I’ve included pension sacrifice from wage slips online.
    Though I haven’t yet heard a decision for council tax deduction.
