Please excuse lack of accents:
Pour etre deductible de l'impot sur les benefices, un abandon de creance d'une societe mere a sa filiale doit remplir certaines conditions. I have a basic understanding that this is talking about a company writing off its subsidiary's debts in terms of being tax deductible - and suggestions for the entire sentence would be welcomed to see if I can improve on what I already have. Thanks!
Suggestions for entire sentence would be welcomed also.

waiver of a debt
This is the way I generally translate it. The parent company waives its subsidiary's debt. It then may write it off in its books, or claim a tax deduction, etc.

Comment: "Chose this answer, because, although I imagine it has largely the same effect, I do think there is a technical distinction between waiving a debt and actually writing it off...but the first answer was equally helpful in getting the meaning across. "
