French term

amortissement irregulierement differe

French to English Bus/Financial Finance (general) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Again, an item in a table for calculation of capital gains/losses for tax purposes enclosed with financial statements.
I am looking for the English term - here is the French description:
Pour être déductibles, les amortissements doivent donc normalement être comptabilisés durant l’exercice comptable correspondant. Si les amortissements ont été différés sur le plan comptable, la situation sur le plan fiscal est différente selon les cas et peut se traduire par des amortissements définitivement non-déductibles (amortissements irrégulièrement différés) ou déductibles ultérieurement (amortissements régulièrement différés).
Thanks for your help!

My previous answer to your Kudoz question 1724692 - but it said the same thing, that "depreciation" and "amortisation" are not necessarily the same thing. Kind regards.

Please put in the accents. It can't be hard, as you've got them in your context.

I.e. use the depreciation (according to regulations) or lose it, it will be "définitivement non-déductible".
