Statistics Explained

Glossary:Other receipts

Miscellaneous receipts of social protection schemes, broken down into:

  • Property income: is the income receivable by the owner of a financial asset or a tangible non-produced asset in turn for providing funds to, or putting the tangible non-produced asset at the disposal of, another institutional unit. In practice, it refers mainly to actual interest and dividends. Receipts from property income also include any entrepreneurial income, such as the proceeds from the exploitation of dwellings, credited to the scheme by the institutional unit that runs it.
  • Other: groups miscellaneous receipts not otherwise attributable, such as proceeds of collections (mainly gifts from households), net proceeds from private lotteries, claims on insurance companies and large gifts such as legacies in the form of capital transfers from the private sector.
