Explanation:
Hi Johan, you haven't given very much detail, but this is actually a french word, and if it is being used just for bookeeping or general accounting the translation is percentage or share of profits. If its for accounting but for a commercial business, then it would be licence fee or royalty. Hope this helps

Linda is correct, the alternative would be a sharing of profits of sorts (e.g. bonus etc.) - royalties could of course also be used in general accounting.

Explanation:
The correct spelling in Afrikaans is tamtième or tamtieme (singular) (add =s for plural), but not tamtiéme as you have written it.
