Spanish term

Altas/bajas de renta

Spanish to English Other Accounting
OK, so I'm translating a document into English that is quoting Paraguayan tax law and deductible expenses. Altas/bajas de renta show up throughout:

Altas de renta
Constituyen altas de rentas del ejercicio las siguientes partidas:
2.1 Provisión de gratificaciones
Corresponde a las provisiones para pagos de gratificaciones tanto del personal superior como de otros funcionarios o empleados de la Sociedad.

No obstante, hemos observado que la Sociedad ha computado igualmente como altas y bajas de rentas los saldos iniciales y finales las provisiones de dichas partidas, lo cual entendemos estaría duplicando el efecto del ajuste fiscal determinado.

Respecto a la valuación de los saldos en moneda extranjera, la Sociedad ha extornado el ajuste fiscal del ejercicio 2019, el cual fue considerado como una baja de renta en el ejercicio anterior.

Bajas de rentas
Constituyen bajas de rentas del ejercicio las siguientes partidas:
3.1 Gastos documentados en el ejercicio 2020
La Sociedad considera como baja de renta aquellas provisiones castigadas como altas de renta en el ejercicio 2019.
De acuerdo con lo informado por la Sociedad, las obligaciones que motivaron su constitución fueron canceladas en el 2020 y cuentan con la documentación de respaldo.
Entendemos que, si el gasto se encuentra vinculado con la actividad generadora de la renta, se realizó la erogación, obtuvieron la documentación debida del pago ejecutado y según el caso, se realizó la retención, así como también se cumplieron con las demás exigencias del artículo 14 de la Ley 6380/19 que fuesen aplicables.

Are these simply profits/losses?

neilmac Oct 24, 2020:
In that case... ... you might consider just calling them "tax adjustments/income adjustments/variations..."
Ryan Kelly (asker) Oct 23, 2020:
The client has suggested that these are tax adjustments that increase and reduce tax liabilities, literally speaking. Is there a better term that can render this concept more concisely?

Neil tiene razón, son "tax adjustments" pero no toma en cuenta que en tu caso tienes dos encabezados distintos (Altas por un lado y bajas por e otro)
Peer comment(s):

agree philgoddard : I don't quite see how a provision for employee bonuses is an increase in income, though.

Thanks Phil! For tax purposes a bonus is an expense when it is actually paid, whereas for accounting purposes a provision is a charge to income when it is set up. Therefore for tax purposes the provision has to be added back to income and taxed.

UK> Balancing + allowances / - charges on income

Looking at the scenario from a *corp.* tax angle, so for AmE: corporate tax, the idea of 'charges on income' of old for BrE corporation purposes occured to me as a translation for 'bajas de renta'.

The balancing idea from UK capital writing-down allowances - and now self-assessment of personal income - came to mind from the quote: '....hemos observado que la Sociedad ha computado igualmente como altas y bajas de rentas los saldos iniciales y finales - the opening and closing balances - y? las provisiones de dichas partidas..'

A balancing allowance in UK tax is treated as a profit and may be subject to CGT / Capital Gains Tax. A balancing charge, by contrast, is treated as a tax loss and deductible form profits,
Example sentence:

UK Corporation Tax > charges on income: ...The term referred to the method of giving tax relief for certain income payments which was, essentially, to treat a payment made out of fully taxable income as transferring income from payer to recipient.

high and low incomes or profits

Information is on a company's financial stability
Example sentence:

La sociedad ha computado igualmente las provisiones de dichas partidas como los saldos iniciales y finales, lo cual duplica el efecto del ajuste fiscal determinado.

The company also calculates relevant provisions of the initial and final stocks as high and low incomes or profits, which would be a duplicate of the determined fiscal (tax) adjustment.
