Hi hazel,

You might be able to get an average of the income for 2010 with the help of the income figures you had in 2008 and 2009. But you need to consult an accountant or a tax consultant in this regard as they are the right people to guide you in matters like this.

The condition of a fund is referred to as capital gains exposure. When distributed by a Fund, capital gains liability is eligible for fund investors.
