Sorry about that!

Thanks to both of you. That's very helpful, Charles, but it also complicates my life!

Charles has a point. "Deductible" is more likely to mean something like "applicable" here, but I'm pretty confident with the general thrust of my suggestion. I'm not working on tax matters today, but "heritage objects", so my head is elsewhere, and the garden is also beckoning winsomely... :-)

I'm sorry to be awkward, but I am not confident that "deductible" is the right word here. I am no expert on tax language (which gives me a headache), but as far as I can see "retenciones deducibles" means tax withheld that is not payable because of allowances and is therefore deducted from the tax liability. But "deductible" normally refers to allowable expenses deducted from the tax base, doesn't it?

I find it very fishy that there are virtually no authentic (I mean non-translated) Google results for "deductible withholdings".

But in that case I don't know whether the right word is "creditable" or "relievable" or something else. There are certainly a good number of references to "relievable withholding tax" in HMRC sources, but I'm not sure whether it's applicable here.
