Discussion

Dave Calderhead (asker) Jan 12, 2009:
to clarify the reference to the Code is in a letter concerning tax, statutory interest and fines due on insurance tax associated with premiums paid to a foreign insurer.
I have gone with Belgian Code on duties and taxes for now.
Dave Calderhead (asker) Jan 12, 2009:
possibility would (Belgian) Code of duties and taxes
be acceptable?
jarry (X) Jan 12, 2009:
Code (not civil code as in the Netherlands) is what Servotte Business Dictionary (a Belgian publication) also suggests.
Ken Cox Jan 12, 2009:
off the top of my head... (i.e. without any reasearch)

I'd say duties and levies (and possibly taxes)

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks Ken - I think perhaps Code governing miscellaneous duties, levies and taxes - as it obviously includes insurance tax"

It apparently deals with fees, charges, levies, and the like. My main concern with the word 'tax' is the potential confusion with taxes such as income tax, corporate tax and VAT, which fall outside the scope of this Code.
