Spanish term

casas fiscales

Spanish to English Other Military / Defense Government benefits for military personnel
Under this topic "Instituto de CASAS FISCALES para el Ejercito". (In Colombia) These are houses either provided by the Dept of Defense or by a special gov program. I don't think it has anything to do directly with taxes though. Thanks

Gracias, Thayenga, igualmente!
agree Richard Boulter : Since these are both translations, Clifford has the option to vary terms for the source. In the U.S., such services to military personnel are often called 'agency' or 'command', rather than 'institute/institution. Great ref's, LisaMac! My regards.
