agree  Dave Calderhead: Brian needs to check out the notes to the P&L or, failing that, ask the client - accountants notoriously make up their own abbreviations on the spot and expect the rest of the world to understand immediately, in my experience at a "big 4" audit firm.

Don't thank me too soon Brian!

the ver. could also be vervallen,

so then it would be an amortisation/write-off value of an expired provision for deferred taxes,

although normally one would talk about a vrijval or release from a provision that was no longer required.

you would have to look to the notes to the financial statements under the provisions heading to get a beter clue as to what is going on here.

I think Ariser has hit on the possible better answer

The notes to the P&L should provide the answer
