Where a promissory note is given in consideration for services, the acceptance of the note would be considered to be an amount received under s. 12(1)(a) where the note has been accepted as absolute payment for the services, whereas if the note has been accepted as conditional payment, s. 12(1)(a) will apply only when actual payments are made on the note assuming the related services have not yet been performed at that time.
