You always have to collect income if you still have your capital(even if it means you will lose it to another player).
You do not have to spend what you have, but must collect.

Am looking now.
Have you read page 22, phase 7? It does not say you cannot take them, only that you do.

Page 11 of the Rulebook: “You must collect income if you can, but all other parts of the turn sequence are voluntary.”

Bonus income from NOs is income, so it must also be collected.
