French term

une décade

French to English Bus/Financial Law: Taxation & Customs tax warehouse / tax declations
So I did look and see that it refers to ten-day periods, ten whatever periods, but different examples are given in the text.

The context is: the declaration of products for tax purposes.

The tax office is inspecting the declarations and commenting on them and referring to various "décade".

Examples in the text: décade is a heading for a column with number entries 1,2,3,4 and so on, and then other times the décade entries are years 2017, 2018 (with periods within the years set out under a different column).

thanks

Julie: Monday morning, I know what you mean, but it sounds like the form was badly laid out so it was no fault of yours!
Note from asker:
Thanks. I was foxed by it being used for a heading with years stated underneath, but just went back and looked at the periods in the adjacent column which are indeed 10 day periods. Monday morning and all that :-)

Thanks Peter!
neutral Daryo : in theory yes, in practice, not quite - you can find tons of examples of otherwise good writers joyously and totally care-free confusing "une décade" and "une décennie", to the point that you have always to check which one they meant from the context!

All well and good, very fine input perhaps, on a theoretical level, but unfortunately Julie (the Asker) has already confirmed that my answer fits her context. (See her note to answerer.)
