Dutch term or phrase: om te slane belasting
Translating a Flemish tax return and this term pops up. The Dutch explanation is as follows:

vermindering voor pensioenen en vervangingsinkomsten
vermindering voor bezoldigingen ingevolge het presteren van overwerk dat recht geeft op een overwerktoeslag

Any idea if there is a term for this in English? Or any suggestions for what might make a good translation?

Thanks in advance!

applicable tax before deduction
Explanation:
If I understand things rightly (as a Belgian), tax in Belgium is calculated on your taxable income, including certain deductions from that taxable income, but there are before-tax and after-tax deductions. Om te slane belasting is the one before such deductions, from which the tax office will still be able to deduct certain things such as energy premiums for investments in insulation, solar panels etc.

Notes to answerer
Asker: As I understand it, it is actually the tax after deductions on which no more deductions can be made. So part of the tax that you pay. Yes, I'm Flemish and bilingual. Yet this baffles me in both languages :-S.

Asker: Heb uiteindelijk gekozen voor 'applicable tax before apportionment' want vond dat het meest duidelijk. Hartelijk bedankt voor de info!


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  writeaway: Asker is also Flemish and apparently native English as well. this term is apparently as Belgian (or Flemish) as it gets (according to a VL website) so I figure it's best to let the (Bel NL) native speakers to work it out

schedular taxation of 'pre-relieved' total income


Explanation:
if means vermindering voor pensioenen en vervangingsinkomsten and voor bezoldigingen, then deducitions must have already been made e.g. income exemptions, reliefs and deductions, such as, in the UK, gifts covenanted to charities.

Schedular tax in the UK, means the slices of income pass through and are 'apportined between' different Schedule Classes of Tax, such income from co. dividends, pensions, Class F > land, D(iii) > emoluments -> pay and overtime.

Diastrous time-wasting rejection of web refs.

Example sentence(s):
  • Definition of schedular system of taxation: A tax system used in the United Kingdom in which income levels are divided into different classifications www.vlaamswoordenboek.be/definities/term/om+te+slane+belasting
  • The total income of an individual minus certain deductions and personal exemptions is called? ... Declaration of income exemptions and deductions claimed? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schedular_system_of_taxation‎
