Spanish term or phrase: Pago por ganancia
I'm translating a survey.

The question is about the method of payment(Paraguay).
"¿Cómo le pagan en el trabajo?"

One of the options is "Por ganancia". That's it, there's no more context.

It's not commission or percentage based, because those are in a different answer option.

I don't have any more context! I'm sorry!

Par. > earned-bonus pay


Explanation:
Individual performance-based rather than a company performance or goal-based bonus, but unclear from the context.

As previously mentioned, los Paraguayos legendary music band - I witnessed playing around the dance halls on Majorca around half a century ago - used to receive a set wage plus tips and a share of the evening's takings as a 'bonus' under the similar Balearic remunerative system.

Example sentence(s):
  • Paraguay: People tend to confuse bonuses with commissions. A commission is a prefixed rate at which someone gets paid for items sold or deals completed while a bonus is in most cases arbitrary and unplanned.

capital gain based income tax


Explanation:
Pago por ganancia (en Paraguay) = Pago del IRP por ganancia de capital_

This concept from Paraguay is problematic. Why? Because of the distinction between income tax and capital gain tax in mostcountries.

Asker: Nope. It's not income tax, it's a method of payment.
