1  Income from self-employment is in 2003 not comparable with previous years, due to revised routines and rules as a result of increased use of net registration. The agricultural deductions are deducted from the income of self-employed before registration in the tax return.
2  Revised rules for estimating received child maintenance were introduced 1 October 2003. From this date, received child maintenance will no longer be taxable income. This may generate comparability problems in respect to previous years. As of 2004, this post includes introduction benefits for new immigrants.
3  In 2003 this amount no longer includes training allowance or travel money for refugees. As of 2004 it includes received child maintenance managed by public arrangements. Child maintenance received through private arrangements are not included.
4  This amount contains paid child maintenance. Revised rules for estimating paid child maintenance were introduced 1 October 2003. From this date, paid maintenance can no longer be deducted from gross income. This may generate problems in respect to comparability to previous years. As of 2004 it includes paid child maintenance managed by public arrangements. Child maintenance paid through private arrangements are not included.
