Financial statement notes
I've just come across this use of "quasi" in the following two sentences:
- Les impôts différés sont calculés en fonction des derniers taux d’impôt adoptés ou ***quasi-adoptés*** à la date de clôture de chaque exercice.
- Tous les montants résultant d’une modification de taux d’imposition sont comptabilisés au compte de résultat de l’année où la modification de taux est votée ou ***quasi-votée***.
Haven't come across this particular use before, and am a little short of ideas. Quasi-adopted...surely not?

Comment: "Hard to award points when there were quite a few good suggestions. In the end I went with "awaiting imminent introduction". Thanks to all!"

quasi/almost
These are the two possibilities offered by the Baleyte (et autres) Dictionnaire Economique et Juridique, page 211, "quasi".
Personally I use "quasi" in these types of contexts.

Apparently/as though
Miguel is thinking of casi or cuasi in Spanish. Latin and Italian use quasi of course. But here there is another meaning:
apparently, as though, as if . They could have written "presque" and saved us the heaache!

virtually
Another option, along the same lines as 'quasi/almost', which I also think is OK

quasi=quasiment
Cela veut dire sans doute que pour le calcul des impôts différés, on tient compte du taux en vigueur. Si, à la clôture de l'exercice, le taux est sur le point d'être modifié (loi de finances en cours d'examen au parlement par exemple), on retient le taux qui est sur le point d'être voté ou adopté par les parlementaires

(adopted or) all but (adopted)
Meaning there is reasonable certainty that the tax rates will be adopted after the balance sheet date, and the company would be foolish to ignore them on a technicality.

: No expert, but I thought this was the general idea. However, I do wonder whether something with 'imminent' or 'pending' might sound a little more formal? The Fr source seems quite common for a/cs, but I found no good Eng versions during a v quick search.
