Spanish to English Law/Patents Law: Taxation & Customs Tax return
Hi.

I'm proofreading a collection of translated documents, including a section on personal tax returns.

This section is entitled "Calculo del impuesto y resultado de la declaración "

"Retenciones y demas pagos a cuenta:
imputados por agrupaciones de interes economico y UTE's (salvo las retenciones e ingresos a cuenta por arrendamientos de inmuebles urbanos)"

Apologies for missing accents/other potential mistakes.

Translator has put: "Imputed by economic interest groups and UTEs"

Thanks in advance.

See my reference comment below. I usually just translate "imputar" as "impute", as far as I can recall.

Peer comment(s):

neutral philgoddard : I'm not going to disagree, as it's you, but this is wrong. It says "imputados por", imputed by.

Some suggestions for financial/tax contexts.
'Impute' is more about holding someone accountable for a crime, I believe.

Reference:

Impute

This does exist in financial English, and the meaning is "To calculate the value of something which cannot easily be measured in the usual way by giving it a value based on similar things." This is why it appears so often in tax-related contexts. I think native English speakers will often feel more comfortable with less recondite expressions, such as "imposed on"...
Example sentence:

You can't base a tax system on imputed rents, imputed capital gains, imputed income tax, imputed profits.

Peer comments on this reference comment:

agree philgoddard : It would be wrong to translate this in any other way.
