Income
Money received by an individual as a salary, or from investments. Cash deposits and Bonds will provide income in the form of interest. UK Shares will, in most but not all cases, provide income in the form of twice-yearly dividends. The most notable exceptions are the high growth, 'new economy' stocks that came to prominence in the late 1990s which generally do not pay dividends. This income is subject to Income Tax.
