What is an Income?

An Income (also known as "Revenue") is an amount the Organization earns for Digital or Physical Royalties, Neighboring, Performance or Mechanical Rights, Synchronizations, or other sources such as Concerts, Touring, or Merchandising.

In accounting, the Incomes are recorded at the Credit of the Organization when the money flows into its bank account. If you are uncomfortable with accounting basics, please check this page to learn more: https://bench.co/blog/bookkeeping/debits-credits.
