ritenuta Explanation: Normally, you speak of "trattenuta" when the amount is withhold for example on employees salary. Professionals instead must indicate a "ritenuta" in their invoices, which I think it's your case. |

ritenzione Explanation: ritenzione can be used in the sense of "amount withheld" - "somma trattenuta" in Italian. Cfr. Garzanti's Dictionary of Business English - page 244. "Ritenuta" (in the sense of "deduction" or "witholding" is commonly used for taxes.) "Trattenuta" can also be "deduction", retention" or "holdback pay", "recoupment", "checkoff", etc., but it is primarily used in case a deduction is made from s.o.'s salary. |

Sospensione di pagamento (parziale) Explanation: Both "trattenuta/e" and "ritenuta" usually refer to a portion of the payment which is diverted to a different aim (taxes or social security or something else). I think the meaning here implies <momentarily> witholding payment, which is by no means what well-defined terms like trattenuta or ritenuta refer to. On the ohter hand, "sospensione di pagamento" without the further "parziale" specification would suggest a momentary witholding of the whole payment, rather than a part of it. |

"Garanzia della corretta esecuzione del contratto" Explanation: This phrase seems wordy, but I think that it may be the most approprate solution. This term, or , rather, phrase in this case, is taken from page 816 of Francesco de Franchis' Dizionario Giuridico, and the English equivalent is written as "performance guarantee" or "performance bond". I would think that "retainage" and "performance guarantee" are one in the same. I hope this helps! Best regards, Andréa |
