29.1 Gross income from salary
Gross income from salary includes all the payments the worker received from his work as an employee for the month of September.
Gross income includes the basic payments and all the extra payments, like: payments for extra hours, premium, 13th month salary, payment for recreation time, clothing, board and lodging, payments for car maintenance etc.
Gross income is the income before deductions of revenue taxes, National Security [Social Security], health insurance, payments to insurance funds, pension and compensation funds, to return a loan or any other deduction from the salary.
The gross income is important since it is uniform [in its components] and is not influenced by random deduction in one month or another, or from deductions related to the personal status of the worker (like: place of residence [along the borders and in developing towns the taxes are lower], number of children, loans, savings etc.).
29.2 Net income from salary
Only if there is no way to get the gross income, write the net income.
Net income is the sum remains after the deduction of income tax and social security from the gross income, and before the deduction of all other payments.
