Spanish term

derechos de amanecida

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Law (general) Tax Law
This appears in a tax registration document from the Secretaría de Hacienda in Colombia. It is a form that gives details of what taxes the company is registered to pay.

There is a list of possible items that may be subject to taxes in which this expression appears. The list also contains things like "piano" and "dancing", so I think it may refer to entertainment establishments (the company referenced works in systems - no obvious connection with the entertainment business). Could it be "late night licensing"? Also, I'm translating into American English, and "late night licensing" sounds British to me. If it were something like that, can anyone think of an American English equivalent?

That's because bars and the like are allowed to open only until 3:00 a.m. or so.

Spanish term (edited): derecho de amanecida

late-night ('wee-hours') surcharge levied

It seems odd to pay tax on a fee already payable by the company concerned, rather on the extra 'service' or cover charges received from patrons / customers.

Coud also apply to a (computer?) systems corporation.

Despite the AmE doubts expressed in the example sentence, 'wee hours' is understandable in (some parts of) the USA: A Bedroom In The Wee Hours of The Morning. by Stephen King (Goodreads Author).

BTW, Tax Law in the header is aka Revenue Law, though encompasses 'taxing statutes'.
Example sentence:

USA: I'm not sure I would understand "wee hours taxi charges". I don't know of a standard expression, but I will suggest that "late night surcharge" might be more understandable to a native English speaker.

We partied through the wee hours of the morning, and passed out after dawn.
