Khums

BarakAllahu fik,

As for money, it is only mentioned "taxes" and "sales", meaning that money received for example: salary from your employer, or as a gift from a relative, are exempt from khums?

Thank you for your question!

Just a point of clarification: The statement "The mandate of its distribution is to the imam" means that its distribution is one of the duties of the imam if there is one. This does not mean that it is only the mandate of the imam. Imam al-Haadi, upon him be peace, stated in his Ahkaam:

Verily, it is only permissible for one to distribute that to the people who are mentioned by Allah based upon what we mentioned if there is no imam to take it. It is permissible for him to pay it to the deserving person directly. If there is an imam, he is responsible for that.

In the absence of the imam, the mandate goes to the owner of the wealth. 

Hopefully, this makes matters clear. And Allah knows best!

wa fiik akhi,

No, Akhi. Khums pertains specifically to booty and conquered land. It does not apply to regular salaries or gifts.
A more accurate translation would be:
"Land taxes and transaction profits (in conquered lands)."
