No income from occupying a province as such. Only when you loot a province do you get income. IIRC its one years worth of tax (not production or anything else).
I think you gain a portion of the production taxes from that province, I have certainly noticed that occupying a gold province gives you some gold income.
You get quite a bit from being the controller of a province, especially if the province has a Center of Trade. 
Can anybody give a precise anwser?
We already know that controller of a province gets income form:
- gold (100%)
- trade tariffs (?%)
- loot (2 x base tax value)
Does he get anything more? Any percent of production, trade, taxation etc..?
edit:
manpower, etc...
Does controlling a province increases stability and tech costs?

I have no precise answer. It seems the controller gets a percentage of production income and tax income. The amount of income listed in the province window as the province's annual income goes to the controller. The amount is reduced compared to what the the owner gets when he controls an unlooted province. Gold income is an exception. The controller gets all the usual gold income. Also for a CoT, the controller gets all the merchant tax.
Income is pretty good when gaining 100% control of a nation. As Portugal, I have frequent war with Castille/Spain. Gaining 100% victory and holding Spain down gives almost all of Spain's income. Plus the AI is still able to mint to pay reparations. When at war with AI nations, the nations' provinces are the source of more money than they can make while at peace.
There is no manpower, stability cost, or tech cost increase.

Well yes. But that 100% of the production income that is listed is less than the owner would get if he controlled the province. So really it is not 100% of the province's potential.superhero said:
It is like when one of your provinces is looted. If the provinces is not also besiged, you still get some production income from the province. But the production income is not as much as usual. Still you get 100% of what is listed in the province window.
Don't forget that, in 1.09, a country controlling a province gets the trade income from that province which would have gone to any country whos merchants are embargoed from the CoT.
Thus, if I have the Tago CoT, and I embargo my war opponent Castille, then capture Leon, I get in addition to other income the value of the trade from Leon, multiplied by the share of trade Castille would otherwise have from its merchants in Tago, multiplied by my own Trade Efficiency. A useful tool; we may well find it more advantageous now to embargo our wartime opponents.

I admit I haven't yet had much experience with this new feature. But it seems to me that you would have to control several provinces to make up for the 3% embargo penalty on your trade efficiency, unless of course you were already embargoing the bad guys anyway.
