French term

taxe fiscale affectée

French to English Other Law: Taxation & Customs
This 'taxe' enables an 'établissement d'utilité publique' to fulfil its role to promote technical progress, improve output and ensure high standards in its industry. According to research on Google, various 'taxes' appear to be paid for the benefit of different industries, so I'm wondering whether I could simply translate the term as a 'tax allocated specifically for the benefit of the xxx industry' ... Any suggestions or feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance if you're able to help me!

I think it's one of those where you need the exact context to get the wording right.

Perhaps the Asker (Sarah) has an NDA that prevents her from talking about the NDA (and I'm only half-joking).

The other part I would probably call an industry levy.

Steve Once again, I think you should post that as an answer. I don't think you need references.

Here's a sentence from the relevant Centre's website in which the term appears: 'Le CTCPA réalise des missions d’intérêt général grâce à la *taxe fiscale affectée* versée par les fabricants français de produits en conserve et déshydratés, qui représente près de 40% des ressources du Centre'

Sarah Please post the ACTUAL French sentence in which your expression appears. This makes it easier for us "out here" to see the story.
Sarah Russell (asker) Oct 12, 2021:
Thanks to everyone who has replied so far. Conor, I'm afraid that the only information I have is that the tax benefits a "centre" in the food industry, set up to promote technical progress and guarantee a particular standard in the industry ...
Conor McAuley Oct 12, 2021:
More overall context needed -- what is the connection between the tax and the industries it goes to help, for instance?

Without that, any attempted answer remains a bit theoretical, really.
Conor McAuley Oct 12, 2021:
In what way is the charge deducted initially? This should help you with "taxe fiscale". Levy, charge, tax, etc. Second part -- see my answer.
Steve Robbie Oct 12, 2021:
hypothecated / earmarked / ring-fenced Sounds to me like it could be a hypothecated levy, i.e. the tax collected is spent on a specific purpose.

allocated or levied Hello

I thought of "allocated" when I first saw the question and then read your full question, but taxes can also be levied for the benefit of ....

industry-specific tax set-aside

as a mechanism for channelling or 'siphoning-off' the tax collected.

Compare the US American Federal Tax Lien.

Tax charge is ambiguous and could mean an expense, so local authorities in the UK would use a 'charging order' as a kind of forcible mortgage over a council-taxed property.
Example sentence:

industry-specific tax policy is rarely ideal

Charging Orders are a potential method of securing a Council Tax debt which is in excess of £1,000.
