I'd go with average here if I were translating a document, though. And not being an economist I can't tell you the difference between earnings and income. shouru I would normally translate as income, but the dictionary also lists revenue, receipts, earnings, proceeds....... Again, I'd go with income if I were translating a document. It all depends on the context, as always, but having said that, I would assume 平均年收入 should be translated as average annual income.

Govt. relaxed them. But in the city, a small shop keeper should pay Income Tax or Tax department pressing hard to pay Tax. In this light, I think, farmers are happy.
