For income sources reported annually, reported income is allocated evenly across the months of the reference year by dividing by 12.

For respondents with a spouse or civil union partner in the household; income from jointly owned accounts are asked of only one spouse/partner and this response is divided by 2 and copied to both spouses'/partners' records.
