French term

Déclaré Retenu Réduction

French to English Bus/Financial Law: Taxation & Customs
This is from an income statement to calculate tax. I'm confused by these three isolated words. The full context is:

REDUCTIONS D'IMPOT (15) Déclaré Retenu Réduction. Déclaration en ligne et moyen de paiement automatique (18).

Thank you

Rebecca, thanks that helps. I think what makes sense is something like "allowable" - sounds a little more American English than "accepted."

declared/claimed - accepted - reduction

I don't happen to have a tax statement under my nose at the moment, but I have translated some in the past (avis d'imposition) - and pay my own income tax in France - and take this to mean:
- Déclaré - the amount of tax reduction delared/claimed (ie the amounts the taxpayer entered in his tax return)
- Retenu - the amounts the tax authorities will allow after examination of the tax return; this may be the same amount as the "Déclaré" or may differ if, for instance, no supporting document was provided, or the taxpayer made a mistake in calculations, or whatever
- Réduction - the amount of reduction actually applied to the taxes
These are amounts deducted from the tax payable as opposed to amounts deductible from the taxable income.
Hope this helps

Peer comment(s):

agree Tony M : Yes, and the 'retenu' sum may also be less than 'déclaré', if some other allowances have been taken into account.

Declared, Tax paid, Tax cut

I think they are 3 tax elements the details of which are later filled online
Peer comment(s):

disagree Tony M : 'tax cut' would be a total mistranslation, and 'tax paid' could be highly misleading, since a) it may not be referring to the actual tax as such, and b) it may not have been paid yet
