There are a couple of factors IMO that should be added to the Revenue/Income debate. First look at the purpose of why this data is being collected. Ask your examiner for their explanation.
IMO its to determine if the business falls into $1,000,000 or less catagory, as there are analysis reports that break out Small Business loans by under and over 1 Mil in "Gross Annual Revenue". If you use revenue and income to qualify the loan and the combined amount is 1 Mil or less, it isn't going to matter if you use Income, Revenue or combine them, as you are still going to report a CRA Revenue code of 1. So, if you report a code 1 how can examiners ding you, if the code reported is correct?
You are reporting a code that covers a very broad Income/Revenue range and not a dollar amount. For credit qualification you can use any combination of income and revenue. For CRA reporting purposes I would use the annual revenue of the business, as that appears to be a detreminate factor for analysis, and the governments statistical purposes.
