Explanation:
Thanks, Daryo, for posting the full docs. Indeed, Marie Arlette, you had left out a word (prolongé) in your question, which didn't make things any easier for us!
A procuration is not just the document used to make an appointment, it is also the appointment itself (donner procuration). In this case, a tax refund may be delayed if the taxable person is dead, a joint owner, represented by an appointee, ... etc.

Asker: Merci Joséphine je pense pour ma part que " Power of attorney " convient ici comme il s'agit des différents actes légaux qui pourraient interférer dans le processus de remboursement des taxes qui ont été retenus, et le retarder. Merci à tous pour les explications.

agree  writeaway: or proxy. is in ordinary Fr-En dictionaries and am sure the glossary would also be helpful in this case. unless there is a special problem in this particular doc.

  -> Thanks, true, proxy is used too
agree  AllegroTrans: asker has to look carefully at context to choose whether POA or proxy is the most appropriate term
1 hr
  -> True, so asker has to decide
agree  B D Finch: I think that the limited context the Asker has given does point towards "power of attorney", not "proxy". The two terms are very different and cannot be used interchangeably.
