Declaration of professional income and how does this relate to local assets and liabilities?

Posted 4 November 2014

Income is earned from writing articles that are published in a magazine. No IRP5 is provided for this remuneration. Do I declare this income in the field "Income other than turnover" and give it a description of "professional income"? Then under the heading "Local assets and liabilities", do I only declare amounts relating to this professional income? For example fixed properties will be zero as the house that I own is not part of this professional income activity?

The amounts under Assets and Liabilities are for your personal assets and should be recorded at cost.

You would indeed place your professional income under the "other income" section.
