French term or phrase: plafond mordant
This is used in a report on earmarked taxes:

"Le plafonnement est dit « mordant » lorsque, en cas de dépassement, le différentiel est reversé au budget général. Afin de juger de l’efficacité du dispositif, il a été jugé nécessaire de distinguer les cas où il est « mordant » des cas où il est « non-mordant » et de les comparer aux cas des opérateurs affectataires de taxes non plafonnées."

I do not know the English equivalent, if any.

Thanks for your help.

Explanation:
It would seem that your governmental authority is serious about setting a limit for this tax. I think this link will help you understand what this is called in English:

On the basis of your information and of this article, I would translate "plafond mordant" as "hard cap".
