What is other income
A capital lump-sum payment for recurring benefits is a one-time payment that replaces an existing or future regular recurring payment. Not every one-time payment is automatically a capital lump-sum payment. What matters is whether it replaces a periodic benefit and for which period.
Examples
Capital lump-sum payment for recurring benefits:
Back payments of a pension/benefit over several years (e.g., pension arrears)
A one-time payment that replaces a clearly defined annual benefit (e.g., bridging payments for X years, compensation for a non-compete over 3 years)
Other income:
Any other payments that don’t fit anywhere else.
Documents
Capital lump-sum payment: Documents that show the purpose and the period, e.g., a contract, official decision, letter, or statement/settlement. If the period isn’t clearly stated, add a short note (1–2 sentences) explaining what the payment is for and which period it covers.
Other income: A payment receipt, statement, or confirmation that proves the amount and source of the payment.
