Portuguese to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Accounting / public finance
Portuguese term or phrase: Ingressos
This is in a balance sheet from the Ministério da Fazenda. I understand "ingressos" is generally translated as "tickets" but wonder if there is a better translation for finance/accounting? Thanks so much!

Revenue(s)/Receipt(s)


Explanation:
Em sentido restrito, receitas são as entradas que se incorporam ao patrimônio como elemento novo e positivo; em sentido lato, são todas quantias recebidas pelos cofres públicos, denominando-se entradas ou ingressos. Nem todo ingresso constitui receita pública; o produto de uma operação de crédito, por exemplo, é um ingresso, mas não é receita nessa concepção porque, em contraposição à entrada de recursos financeiros, cria uma obrigação no passivo da entidade pública.

According to Martin R. Altman, Dicionário Técnico Contábil (São Paulo: Atlas, 1974), /ingresso de fundos/ = /receipts.

So, /revenue/ if positive, /receipt/ if not - and for the sake of clarity, maybe both.

neutral  ViBe: Yes, but isn’t it just "variations on the theme" already suggested by Emiliano above? That’s why I added the exact same options to his answer instead of suggesting them as a separate answer.

  -> A variation, yes, but a significant one because it differentiates the two. And apologies to you - guess we reasoned the same but got crossed up in the midst of all these boxes.
