surcharge
Explanation:
It's just any form of surcharge.

Compare:
-> "2.4 CA zal Cliënt periodiek voor haar dienstverlening factureren, vermeerderd met de toepasselijke BTW en met verschotten, waaronder alle secretariële en administratieve diensten. Bovendien zal CA Cliënt de gebruikelijke 8% kantooropslag over het netto honorarium in rekening brengen, om out of pocket kosten, zoals fotokopieën, porti, etc., te dekken."

and:
->"2.4 From time to time CA shall invoice Client for Services, together with any applicable VAT and disbursements, among which all secretarial and administrative services. In addition, CA will invoice the usual 8% surcharge on the net fee to cover for out-of-pocket expenses such as photocopies, postage, etc."

Explanation:

http://www.google.nl/search?hl=nl&safe=off&num=20&q="office ...
