Ten Years’ Recess (ten-year tax collection agreement)
Explanation:
I did some research on that (studied medieval history at the university) and I have come to the conclusion that there is hardly any exact phrase for this document.
To explain: it is an agreement concluded between the central gov't (Maria Theresa and her Supreme Chancellor, Count Haugwitz) and the Estates enabling the Empress to collect taxes for the following 10 years, however, in return she had to give up something in other parts of her centralized absolutist government.

the so-called "decenial recessus" agreement from 1748


Explanation:
I think it is a historical term with no equivalent in modern language use.
I therefore suggest to leave it in its original Latin form (I made a brief web search but could not verify whether "decenial" would be ok; sorry, my knowledge of Latin is poor :-))
It may also be "recessus DECENIUM" or something like that.

neutral  Jana Bedanova: well, the word "decennial" actually does exist in English not just Latin... with the same meaning
14 mins
  -> "centenial" also exists, but you still have the "Hundred Years' War".

decenální reces


Explanation:
Hm.... I don't know if that's gonna make Scott happy, but I repost here the answer that I received from PhDr. Jiri Rak. He recommends not to translate it at all saying that is commonly left untranslated and recommends to leave a translator's note explaining the term..
_______________________________________________________
Dobrý den, omlouvám se za prázdninově opožděnou odpověď. "Decenální reces" se ponechává v této (původní podobě), je nutné vysvětlit, o co se jednalo: povolení berní na deset let dopředu.
S pozdravem
J. Rak
