réintégrations fiscales fiscal reinstatement Explanation: Based on the fact that "réintégration" can mean "reinstatement" as well as "reintegration". The reference below is not quite the same context, but communicates the general idea of "reinstating" something financially. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 24 mins (2005-06-16 01:05:47 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Except \"fiscal\" should refer specifically to taxes....

add-back (for tax purposes) Explanation: A "réintégration" is simply an adjustment made to the accounts, where an expense is added back to earnings to determine taxable income because the expense is not actually deductible for tax purposes. Hence, an "add-back". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 hrs 35 mins (2005-06-16 07:16:02 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- As Merit\'s example below shows, it is generally expressed as a verb (\"add back such-and-such\") rather than a noun (\"add-back of (or for) such-and-such\"). The verbal form does look slightly strange, especially as it appears almost imperative in nature rather than purely descriptive as most line items are, but it is the standard practice. Still, the Saxcé dictionary does state it as noun. In this context, it would be more natural to rephrase the sentence slightly: \'No so-called \"extravagent\" expenses were made, so it has not been necessary to add back any general & administrative expenses to net income for tax purposes\' |
