Income in the above table includes part-time work, casual employment, and pensions. For salaried workers, it refers to the "Amount Paid" on the tax withholding slip minus social insurance premiums and withholding tax. For non-salaried workers, it refers to the "Total Income" on the tax return. If your income has suddenly changed due to special circumstances such as leaving your employer, bankruptcy, illness, or disaster, please contact the Academic Affairs Division.
