English translation:your personal overhead expenses are for your own account
Explanation:
gastos de gestion and labor personal

I don't think labor personal means personnel

Í think personal characterizes the gestion and labor, so I would call it your personal overhead expenses...

gastos de labor personal=personal costs for doing the work
gastos de gestion=same or similar
boils down to: personal overhead expenses
(renting an office, car, eating, whatever)

I saw the other two postings Under EASY so maybe it is overhead and personnel expenses; I do no think management is good here. They\'re talking about overhead in a small agency, por lo visto...
