Military / Defense / Government benefits for military personnel
Spanish term or phrase: casas fiscales
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

agree  Ricardo Payan: Efectivamente, tal cual, nada que vee xon impuestos, como presume Clifford, "military housing", casas del ejercito para alojar a militares y sus familias, algunas dentro de las bases, y otras en edificios en la ciudad

agree  jairo payan: Sin duda, viví en varias y así se les llama

agree  Thayenga: Feliz Navidad

  -> 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.
