Guide for use: | All sources of cash income are included in this concept. Cash income may be received from employment (Employee cash income), as a profit or loss from an unincorporated enterprise (Unincorporated business cash income), from the ownership of assets (Property cash income). Income may also be derived from current transfers from government (pensions and benefits) or from private sources, such as superannuation funds. An individual may receive cash income from more than one source. Excluded from this concept is income in kind e.g. barter for goods or services. |

Collection methods: | If the person has multiple sources of income, all sources should be counted. This question is not asked of person's aged less than 15 years because they are generally dependants.
