Bus/Financial - Law: Taxation & Customs
French term or phrase: assiette d'intervention
Context is about establishing a budget for a research project proposal. Talks about "régime fiscal et assiette d'intervention" (as a heading). The tax regime bit is all about VAT, but what does this "intervention" refer to? Is it some kind of financial contribution? Awarding body is a regional council.

Explanation:
"assiette" seems to be suggesting a dish, i.e. dish of funding, but I have to admit this is a bit of a guess - it's a strange term and the fact that francophones haven't rushed to answer demonstrates that it is probably not in general French parlance
