Swedish term or phrase: förvärvsinkomst
The phrase is "taxerad och beskattningsbar förvärvsinkomst". I'm slightly confused by this word - does it mean income from employment or from acquisitions?

neutral  Sven Petersson: "Income from employment and business" does not cover it; pensions and supplementary benefits are also included. "Earned income" + a hefty footnote would probably be the best.
