Law: Taxation & Customs
Dutch term or phrase: faciliteiten (belasting context)
I am currently translating a short text for a firm of tax advisers, and am struggling with the above term.

The context is as follows:

Bij uitkeringen aan in de EU gevestigde moedermaatschappijen kan vaak de inhouding van dividendbelasting achterwege blijven onder de werking van de Moeder-dochterrichtlijn. Er moet dan wel aan een aantal formaliteiten worden voldaan.
Bij de dooruitdeling van uit het buitenland ontvangen dividenden gelden er faciliteiten waardoor niet het volledige bedrag aan dividendbelasting hoeft te worden afgedragen.
Geen dividendbelasting hoeft te worden ingehouden als de dividenden bij de gerechtigde zijn vrijgesteld op grond van de deelnemingsvrijstelling.

Can this simply be translated as 'facilities'?

All suggestions welcome - KudoZ points will be awarded asap.

Many thanks,

Pikey

It is estimated that nine out of ten taxpayers are paying too much tax because they don’t understand the system or they don’t know what they should be paying. A good accountant will be able to create a tax plan suitable for both your business finances and your personal finances to make sure that you are making effective use of the tax facilities and products available to you.
