Can I suggest, as an alternative, ' SPECIAL BENEVOLENT CONTRIBUTIONS'???
The text talks of ' εισφορά '. My understanding is that levy=tax. And, although the Google search, apparently, suggests 'SOLITARITY LEVY' I wonder if that is 'talk' by Union people and wonder, however, if the Inland Revenue, on a tax form would refer to this in Union Colloquialism!!!???? There are many BENEVOLENT FUNDS, which, the I.R. treat 'sympathetically' on their taxable affairs.

: you are right about "contributions" as a better translation of "εισφορά", although actually it is a tax with another name. As for "benevolent", it suggests voluntariness, while this is compulsory.

True, but is it compulsory? or a 'give what you can' affair and then whoever collects presents a TOTAL collected figure to the I.Revenue for taxation? Only Dylan can sort this one out by looking at the rest of the text.

This is the sort of thing I see only on people's tax forms, where there's no surrounding text to explain what it means.
