• Note (1) Total income amount refers to the income amount after deducting public Pension and other deductions, salary income deductions, and necessary expenses, before applying basic deductions and personal deductions. It is also calculated after deducting the special deductions related to long-term capital gains and short-term capital gains.
• Note (2) The total income amount other than that refers to the income amount obtained by excluding the miscellaneous income from the Pension from the total income amount in (1).
