Principal or additional sums
Explanation:
Principal or additional sums, e.g.

"If you cannot pay the entire amount due, negotiate a compromise. Some creditors will reduce the principal sum to a more modest amount; others stick to the principal sums due, but will work with you on accrued interest or penalties. (Yes, even then Internal Revenue Service has been known to waive additional sums, in the interest of getting paid.)"

ref. http://www.pridesenior.org/Networker/Summer_2001/Legalities....

Where additional sums could be interest, penalty payments, fees, etc.

A more formal reference (loan agreement):

"If any event of default shall occur, the whole of the principal
sum then remaining unpaid on all notes and other obligations to Bank, together
with the interest thereon, shall become immediately due and payable at the
election of Bank. If suit is instituted to collect the notes and other
obligations, Borrower promises to pay, in addition to the costs and
disbursements allowed by law, such additional sums as the court may award as
attorney's fees."

principal sum or interest


Explanation:
I am guessing that this is some lesser-known term for 'rente', as debt repayments are usually comprised of two main components: the principal sum and interest. Seems to fit in the context too, i.e. the lender can withdraw the credit facility if it appears that the borrower owes tax or owes interest on tax payments (heffingsrente).
