reversals of tax provisions
Explanation:
or perhaps reversals of tax-related provisions

Really this is just another way of saying what Gillian proposes, it's just that in my accounting translation experience I've come across "reversals" much more often than "releases" (to be honest I can't remember ever seeing this published, but could it be a US/UK difference?)
It just means they've used some of the amounts they set aside, or some of the risks/costs covered by thjose provisions no longer exist, so the provisions are now smaller.
