Bus/Financial - Accounting / Abbreviation, Belgian payroll accounting
French term or phrase: pp
Firstly, there is no running text here. This abbreviation occurs in three contexts, namely "disp. pp. red. cout", "pp travailleurs" and "red. compl. de pp".

I do not have further context.

Thank you very much indeed for the timely help! In fact, I had "précompte professionnel" further up my list, but did not know that that was also what the "pp" stood for.
