Fixed income
This is income that you will definitely get as long as the event goes ahead, such as sponsorship, donations.

For each item of income, complete the description, the account code, the unit price, the %units/head and the appropriate VAT code. The VAT and net amounts are automatically calculated.
The %units/head field indicates what percentage of attendees is expected to purchase the items or services bringing you income. For instance, if 75% of the attendees would buy student tickets to your event, the %units/head field should show 75.00. The total amounts are calculated by using the number of expected attendees which you have previously entered.
