Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): philgoddard

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Discussion

Mario Freitas Sep 9, 2023:
A declarar Portuguese is funny sometimes. In this case, for example, the text says "Valor a declarar", and there is a field right next to it where you type the declared amount. Therefore, it's not an amount "to be declared", yet the amount one is declaring immediately. It's the declared amount. In similar documents in English, what you have is "Ammount accrued" or "delared/stated amount". There are no fields with values "to be declared" to be filled immediately.

Thanks, Phil! BTW: this is a Pro question, according to the ProZ rules. It's in a specific context and you won't find the translation in a regular dictionary.

Obrigado, Claus!
agree Douglas Bissell : Mario, after reading your excellent explanation of past and future tense used in these kinds of documents, perhaps the simple term, 'amount' would have done the job, avoiding any tense issues. Anyway, well done

We must always be aware of the typical ornaments in Portuguese. Thank you, Douglas.

amount to be declared

It depends completely on the timeline.
Has the amount already been declared (declared amount) or not declared yet (amount to be declared)

amount / value to declare

Short and sweet, just like when you go through customs and tell them "nothing to declare" (nada a declarar).

Use "declared amount" only if it has already been declared. If it points to future action, then "amount to declare" or "amount to be declared" would make more sense. Since it's an income statement, I'm almost sure it's the first meaning. The choice of the verb position makes a huge difference in meaning (past vs. future).

I hope this helps. Good luck.

declarable value

Declarable : common on customs, tax form and at air- and sea-ports to those of us who have used such means of travel and locomotion..

May not look pretty as an adjective, but bog-standard in the real world of accountancy NB qualified ProZ accountants : and tax where tax inspectors do not necessarily double as nit-picking translators or poets / poetesses.

BTW, declarable amount is not strictly accurate as may be different from the actual assessed value e.g. of fuel used in a car pool or goods taken by a shop owner for own use and consumption.
Example sentence:

The. UK is a special case where the actual value of fuel received is declarable.

When sending items overseas, a customs declaration form is required for items containing articles with a declarable value, such as goods
