withholdings
Withholdings são retenções (como aquelas para o imposto de renda, seguro social, etc., que são repassadas às entidades recolhedoras, como a SRF, INSS, etc.), mas como você já tem "deductions" em seguida, pode traduzir assim: "Withholdings and deductions"

Shane Engel
: Deductions already used as the other noun (yes, not a verb...) - Hermann: could be, but does not say "statutary" or "other" in the context (as much as we are given).

Norbert Hermann
: Shane - first of all it is not a verb, secondly you can have deductions twice if you say : statutory (deductions) and other deductions.

(social security ) contributions
I would opt for 'contributions' as it's in the context of social security/ National Insurance.
Data for statutory social security contributions were calculated using details provided by the Inland Revenue regarding the amount of National Insurance paid in conjunction with NES data for gross wages.

sheena
: if "deductions" is already being used in the sentence, this would easily be best - at least for UK English

I agree that that may be the situation in US tax system. I think it is not as clear cut in Brazil, and am only calling attention to this fact. It is difficult to get cash back in this country, credits are possible. (I am not speaking for all levels, but what I have been exposed to). Lets just keep in mind that the origin language is Portuguese. We are not interpretting an American IRS situation here.

: You're mistaken, my friend. You get your money back in Brazil, from the local equivalent to IRS (SRF). Anyway, the asker is not in Brazil, but in Portugal.
