UW Physicians Department of Medicine Income Statement 12 months ending June 30, 2016 The 35% of net cash is the max amount in the UWP income distribution plan. Medicine and surgery were the only two departments that requested a waiver from the Dean every year to exceed the 35% tax limit. With the migration to the new faculty funding in FY15 we were held to the same standards as the other departments, thus our allocation is now based on 26% of the NET CASH BALANCE. *
