Norwegian term or phrase: feriepengegrunnlaget
Medarbeidere som ikke har full opptjening har rett til full ferie, men har kun feriepenger tilsvarende antall "opptjente dager". Feriepengegrunnlaget finner du på lønnsslippen for desember. Feriepengene er 12 % av feriepengegrunnlaget.

I am a bit confused as to this terms means basic holiday pay or conditions of holiday pay...

Scandinavians love to "sammenslå" (NB- case in point) words together, but to get the meaning in English one must often deconstruct a bit.

Explanation:
In Norway, employers are required by law to deduct some 10% of your salary to set aside as payment for your mandatory vacation, and "feriepengegrunnlaget" would then be the amount of your salary earned by a certain given day that should be used to calculate the 10% vacation pay from.
This has no counterpart in English, I believe, so an explanation of the matter might be called for.

previous year's taxable income before tax


Explanation:
The term means the amount on the basis of which your holiday pay is calculated. For instance, your taxable income in 2000 forms the basis of the holiday pay you receive in June 2001.
