I know this is literally 'source tax' but can I call it 'withholding tax' So is it 'deductible withholding tax'?

deductible/allowable withholding tax

Explanation:
I think your translation is of "Quellensteuer" = "withholding tax" is fine (among many others see: http://www.ey.com/GLOBAL/content.nsf/Austria/Tax-short-cuts_...).

I always thought that "deductible" was "absetzbar". I've seen "allowable (against)" for "anrechenbar"; but the glossary seems to suggest that "deductible" would also work.

Perhaps \"creditable withholding tax\"? :-)

agree RobinB: Yes for "allowable", not for "deductible". As you correctly surmise, there is a difference here. Anlage KAP makes a clear distinction between taxes paid that are "anrechenbar" and those that are "abziehbar".
