Can anybody tell me the English term for this? Before anyone suggests it, I don't think we're talking about cell phones. This term comes within a tax audit as part of a list of trademark amortisation values, the last being:
"XX,xx euros - Variazione in aumento cellulare"
"XX,xx euros - Variazione in aumento cellulare"

In fact, on re-reading, it is an upwards change which sounds strange. I cannot think of an alternative at present!

Note from asker:
| Hi Peter, I agree that this is what it sounds like but their is no reference whatsoever to mobile phones in the entire document (other than this - possibly). |
| Any alternative ideas or do you think it has to be this? |
| OK, thanks anyway! |

"allowed depreciation" is a possible way to define a depreciation about tax audit. It can be translate to italian as "ammortamento fiscale".
It's a possibility. I don't know others ways.

A <<tax audit>> is a book-keeping verification about tax payment. In This case "fiscal depreciation" or "tax depreciation" or also "allowed depreciation" is OK.

"tax amortiZation" is the same, yes.
