French term or phrase: abandon exprès de revenus ou de produits
Hi everyone,

Here's the full paragraph, taken from a text for a non-profit organization describing its procedure for making donations:

L'article 200 du Code général des impôts prévoit une possibilité de réduction de l'impôt sur le revenu au titre des dons, versements, y compris abandon exprès de revenus ou de produits, effectués par des particuliers.

Any help with how best to translate "abandon exprès de revenus ou de produits" would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
