Réintegration fiscale

French to English Bus/Financial Accounting Payslip
Hi everyone,
I am currently translating a French payslip (France) for Australia and I have a line with "réintégration fiscale."
I saw the suggestions previously given on Proz (https://www.proz.com/kudoz/french-to-english/law-contracts/3... but I found the following explanation "La réintégration fiscale sur une fiche de paie est un instrument de calcul qui consiste à soumettre à cotisations et contributions les excédents fiscaux non exonérés de frais de santé" (https://payfit.com/fr/fiches-pratiques/reintegration-fiscale...
Accounting is not my forte and was wondering if the terms suggested (clawback or disallowance for tax purposes) were appropriate in this situation since they don't take into account that these are health costs?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I finally went with "add back"
philgoddard Nov 19, 2023:
Actually 'disallowance', in the previous question cited by Joanna, also works.
philgoddard Nov 19, 2023:
Thanks, ph-b The previous question probably didn't come up in Joanna's search because it was erroneously posted in the plural.

Add-back is perfect: employer contributions to pensions, health insurance etc are taxed once they reach a certain level, so the excess amounts are added to the employee's taxable income.

From a previous similar question
https://www.proz.com/kudoz/french-to-english/finance-general...

I can't access Merit's example, so can't check it, but thought I'd post this link à tout hasard.

I also checked Ménard's Dictionnaire de la comptabilité et de la gestion financière. The verb réintégrer is defined as Action de rajouter au résultat déterminé un élément qui en avait été soustrait au motif, par exemple, qu'il n'est pas déductible fiscalement and is translated as "add back".

excess tax clawback (Can. for non-exempt medical charges)

> as already in itmated in the first web ref. > réintegration: reinstatement ...fiscale disallowable, L'Anglais de l'Expert-Comptable, Patrick Lafond and Richard Vaughan, Bordas.

'... un instrument de calcul qui - consiste à soumettre à cotisations et contributions - les *excédents fiscaux* (tax overpayments) non exonérés de frais de santé* cf. the kindred Canadian OAS scheme in the two example sentences.

already intimated .... ('non-initimately')
Example sentence:

Can. : The Old Age Security (OAS) clawback is another name for the OAS pension recovery tax

You would have to pay back 15% of the amount of your total taxable income that is above the Canada OAS clawback threshold.

Note from asker:
Thanks Adrian for this explanation. As I mentioned this is not usually my specialization and haven't seen this in the payslips I have translated from Québec.
Peer comment(s):

neutral philgoddard : 'Excess tax' implies an overpayment, which this is not, so it doesn't really belong with the (rather aggressive-sounding) 'clawback'.

tax reinstatement

Tax reinstatement on a pay-slip, file or document (financial statement) is a calculation instrument or system which is intended to submit contributions to assessment on tax surplus which is not exempt from health care costs (they still have to pay for health care).

Tax reinstatement cancels out (annuls) the accountable consequence of product charge on the resultant company or business tax. Reinstatement is connected with amounts which are excluded from tax deduction. Business officers, like business enterprise, which is subject to business or company tax, should reinstate or apply charges to tax or fiscal connections.
https://impots-societes.ooreka.fr/astuce/voir/595289/reinteg...
Tax or fiscal connections are related to a declaration of the results which a business should produce and register with the tax service. It includes a list of declarations and additional document attachments to allow the tax administration to determine the taxable result for the business company and the amount of tax it should pay.
