I cannot agree with the application [for exemption]

what bureaucratic language!

All from Muret-Sanders:

ich vermag (nicht) - I can(not)

etwas (dative) entsprechen - to agree with, be correspond to, be in keeping with, tally with something

From Hamblock/Wessels:
Freistellungsantrag - application for exemption
Steuerabzu - tax relief/deduction

I (we) am (are) not able to approve the application

Freistellungsantrag = application for an excemption (from taxes)
entsprechen = comply to (which is used in case of a requirement), agree to (in cazse of a non-binding wish), approve (in case of a request, to which an answer is required).

It is the application for an excemption that they are unable to agree with or approve.

I would have taken

the answer to approve the application ...

I have had a look on Google - approve application - in more than 3.000 cases,
by Courts, and other authorities

see e.g. Motion to approve "Application for Corrected Tax Roll" submitted by Joanne M. Coleman,
map #89, parcel #34111-17-238200; taxable value decreases from $119,600 ...

But, it is your choice, of course.
