Bus/Financial - Law: Taxation & Customs / informe diagnóstico tributario
Spanish term or phrase: plazo máximo de atraso
Contexto: informe diagnóstico tributario.

En la parte del informe donde hablan de las formalidades para llevar los libros contables tengo el siguiente texto:
"Dicha resolución de la superintendencia establece que los Registros de Compras deben legalizarse con un plazo máximo de atraso de 10 días, mientras que los Libros Caja y Bancos y Mayor, con un plazo máximo de atraso de 3 meses."

¿Cómo dirían "plazo máximo de atraso"? ¿Bastaría con "not later than"?

Gracias por sus comentarios.

Explanation:
con un plazo máximo de atraso de 10 días = within 10 days at most

Podrá decirse asimismo: within a term of 10 days at most...

Hay diversas fórmulas pero la que ofrezco es muy económica y precisa. Las demás respuestas hasta ahora, amén de imprecisas, son muy rolleras.

Maximum retroactive period of 10 days


Explanation:
'Not later than/no longer than' say, 10 days after such and such a date is correct but a bit too colloquial in style for this context here.

agree  Charles Davis: I was just about to suggest the same answer, Henry. I agree completely; in fact I think you could even omit "at most"; "within" alone would be enough.

  -> Gracias, Charles. You're right, although "at most" does serve as emphasis.
agree  philgoddard: Yes, Charles is right, "within at most" is a tautology.
21 mins
