Hello, Need some clarification here. Can I translate Allowances as CONCESIONES

Capital Allowances Rate Schedule (title)

Allowances are given in respect of assets acquired and used in earning your income. there are Investment Allowances, Initial Allowances, Annual Allowance and Balancing Allowances and Balancing Charges which are designed to ensure that over the life of the asset the total allowed by way of Initial and Annual Allowances does not exceed the original cost less the selling price on disposal.
