Selected
taxes not related to income/non-income related taxes
as an alternative to Phil's non-profit related. These are any taxes that are not Ertragsteuern (Einkommen-, Körperschaft-, Gewerbesteuern etc.. for example, Grundsteuer, Kfz-steuer, Mineralölsteuer etc.
An odd usage I must admit as most instances of "erfolgs(un-)abhängig relate to compensation and "performance".

Note from asker:
| We're on the same page. I had only come across erfolgsunabhängig in the contexts you mentioned and wanted to see whether anyone else had a better suggestion than I. Definitely income rather than profit, I'd say. |

: I think this is potentially confusing - income is Einkommen.

: Prefer "non-income-related", as it's symmetrical with "Steuern vom E+E" = taxes on income, income taxes.

Thank you.

: This is also perfectly OK, but personally I'd prefer "income" (symmetry with Steuern vom Einkommen und Ertrag = taxes on income).

taxes independent of profit or loss

periodic tax charges
The asker doesn't say what line of trade the corporation is in. This type of Steuern usually applies to oil companies, whether they make a profit or a loss. Just because the periodic charge in the UK is levied over trust assets on an inheritance etc. doesn't mean it can't be widened out to other contexts.
