Bus/Financial - Law: Taxation & Customs / audit report
Dutch term or phrase: vorming van de voorziening
The full sentence is as follows:

Tegenover de vorming van de voorziening zijn in het jaar 2003 de reorganisatiekosten via een informele kapitaalstorting als kostprijs deelneming geactiveerd.

Anyone who can decipher this?

Many thanks!

forming of the provision
Explanation:
Provisions are reserves formed (from profits) for specific liabilities that will or may be incurred, of which the amounts are not always known exactly but can at least be estimated in advance.

Provisions are 'formed' in the tax year when the liability can be foreseen, and released or partially released (to the result) when the specific liability does not or only partially materialises.
Otherwise, amounts are withdrawn from the provision to cover the specific costs or liabilities.

In you case the provisions formed were for reorganisation costs and defered tax (liabilities) and declared on the corporation tax return for an amount of EUR 756,000.

agree  CI95: but if a noun is required, I prefer 'creation' to 'forming'//point taken
