CB 27: Income equalisation schemes

You could also call this:

“Rules for managing income over time using special schemes”

You need to know about income equalisation schemes. These are ways for you to manage your income over time. The law says that certain types of income from these schemes count as your income.

There are two main types of income equalisation schemes mentioned in this law:

The main income equalisation scheme is covered in several parts of the law. These parts explain when and how much of the money from this scheme counts as your income.

There’s also a special scheme for thinning operations in forestry. This is explained in other parts of the law. These parts also tell you when and how much of the money from this scheme counts as your income.

When you use these schemes, you need to follow the rules in the law to figure out how much income you have and when you have it.
