transfer to/from untaxed reserves
Explanation:
What it is, is "Transfer to/from untaxed reserves"

However the stardard, accepted term used for Swedish annual reports is "Appropriations"

(So I agree with Chris, but the reality is that is what FAR recommends).

neutral  Christopher Schröder: I've always thought this to be misleading translatorese. These are things they do to reduce tax, not how they distribute their profit.

  -> That's all part of it, Chris. Some goes to dividends, some earnings are carried over. If there are tax consequences involved, that will all be covered. I think the Appropriations is what I see most often.
