German term or phrase: Abgeltungswirkung
Soweit Dividenden an nicht in Deutschland ansässige Empfänger gezahlt werden, besteht für beschränkt Steuerpflichtige, welche wie der Antragsteller nicht am Veranlagungsverfahren in Deutschland teilnehmen können, keine der oben genannten Erstattungsmöglichkeiten. Die Kapi-talertragsteuer bzw. der Quellensteuerabzug hat damit im Ergebnis iHv 15% (Art. 10 Abs. 2 Buchstabe b DBA Deutschland-Spanien) Abgeltungswirkung, § 32 Abs. 1 Nr. 2 KStG.
and further:
Da die Quellensteuern bei deutschen steuerpflichtigen Kapitalgesellschaften im Ergebnis erstattet wird, liegt unter Beachtung von Art. 56 EGV im Falle des Antragstellers aufgrund der Abgeltungswirkung eine nicht gerechtfertigte Ungleichbehandlung vor, die erst durch Erstattung der Quellensteuer beseitigt wird.

definitive/final
Explanation:
"Abgeltung" in tax terminology means that no additional tax is levied, that offsetting with other tax types is not permitted, and that options for tax refunds are not available. This is know technically as "definitive" taxation (also: "final" taxation).

In the first of your two contexts here, the translation of Abgeltungswirkung would therefore be simply "is definitive". In the second, I think "because of the definitive nature" would probably be more appropriate.

compensation effect


Explanation:
Although from taken Austria, the compensation effect of the Kapitalertragssteuer on paid dividends (25% max.), on total income is that the return on capital (Kapitalertrag) is then exempt from the levying of income tax (is abgegolten).
