German term

EB LS

German to English Bus/Financial Law: Taxation & Customs From a paystub
It is a position on a paystub:
LOHNSTEUER davon EB LS

The EB LS amount is lower than the overall income tax amount and is a running amount. I can't figure out what it stands for and I can't find it anywhere online.
Please note that EB doesn't stand for Einmalbezug. That appears separately in that statement.
Proposed translations (English)
3 +2 retained/deducted income tax

retained/deducted income tax

Dear colleague,
although I'm not specialized in tax translations, I would say that EB LS stands for "einbehaltene Lohnsteuer". This is the part of the income tax that has to be retained and deducted by the employer and passed on to the tax office.
Example sentence:

Die einbehaltene Lohnsteuer ist die vom Arbeitgeber an das Finanzamt abgeführte und in die Lohnsteuerkarte eingetragene Lohnsteuer.

Note from asker:
That makes perfect sense. Thank you much!
