Mar 28, 2013 13:53: AllegroTrans changed "Level" from "PRO" to "Non-PRO"

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (3): Yvonne Gallagher, Jane Proctor (X), AllegroTrans

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

@Nikki Thank you for validating my hesitation! I look forward to hearing back from the Asker.
Nikki Scott-Despaigne Mar 28, 2013:
More detail needed If this is a typo for "revenus imposables", then there are to mistakes a "t" instead of a "v" and an "e" that should not be there at all.
"Revenus imposables" is of course "taxable income".
If the question posted is indeed "reTenuEs", then is is describing taxable deductions. Certain deductions are taxable and are deducted from taxable income to determine net salary. Is that possible in your particular case?
Where does this appear on the pay slip?
Marie Jackson Mar 28, 2013:
I had always thought that 'revenue imposable' was taxable income, and that 'retenue' referred to the tax or deduction itself, in the spirit of 'prélèvement'. Am I mistaken in that?

Taxable deductions

You have to substract the "reTenuEs imposables" (taxable deductions) from the "revenu imposable" (taxable income) to calculate the "salaire net" (net salary").
Peer comment(s):

agree Yvonne Gallagher : yep, this is right if it's reTenues!

agree rkillings : But, in a tax context, the word 'deduction' cries out for a qualifier: these are presumably deductions *from net pay* that are nevertheless taxable income, rather than tax deductions (=deductions for tax).

taxable income

This is the amount arrived at after deducting the amounts allowable under the income tax act.
