Spanish term

fiscal

Spanish to English Law/Patents Law: Taxation & Customs
Well, it would appear that someone thought that "fiscal" is more than one term, so i am forced to re-post my question, running the risk of lots of people trying to gain easy points by simply posting "tax" as their answer, without explanation...

I am searching for an explanation of the use of "fiscal" in phrases such as "terreno fiscal", "zona fiscal" and "cantera fiscal". I am familiar with the term "Tax district", but when fiscal is used in phrases such as "cantera fiscal" I can't grasp what it means. This is an ARGENTINEAN document.

e.g.
- Incorporar la cantera de dolomita denominada "Boca Sierra" a la configuración y reordenamiento de las canteras fiscales de rocas dolornitas, existentes en la zona fiscal de Sierras Bayas
- la recuperación del terreno fiscal pre mencionado es de fundamental importancia para promover el crecimiento de este sector
- corresponde incorporar a la cantera fiscal de dolomita denominada Boca Sierra al ordenamiento señalado
- en el marco de un mercado deprimido y en un terreno fiscal que durante años permaneció inactivo

Thanks.

el fisco It depends on the translation of the term "fisco" for your target audience. The IRS, the Exchequer, the Treasury, et cetera.

state-owned

In Wendy's contexts fiscal means 'state-owned', e.g.:

en el marco de un mercado deprimido y en un terreno fiscal que durante años permaneció inactivo
--> (something along the lines of)
in a depressed market and in/on state-owned land that has been unproductive for many years

Zona Federal?
Good luck!
Peer comment(s):

neutral Jennifer Levey : Only if there's a 'federation' involved - this wouldn't apply in the UK, for example.
