I think \"standard exemptions\" may be a more suitable alternative. On refelection, my first contribution could have been better.

Fixed / lump sum exemptions
There are several ways of translating "forfaitair", depending on the context. Other possibilities include 'flat rate', and 'standard'. In the given context this seems the more appropriate solution.

fixed allowance
In the tax sphere, forfaitair means that the (tax) allowance is a fixed amount and isn't calculated according to a percentage or other sliding scale method. E.g. if you buy a house, you might be eligible for a homebuyer's allowance of, say, $1,000 to cover purchase expenses (survey, solicitor's fees, etc.). The actual costs you incur (whether higher or lower than the allowance) are irrelevant: you can only deduct the allowance.
-> "Veelgestelde vraag
De kosten die ik maak om naar mijn werk te reizen zijn veel hoger dan het forfaitaire bedrag. Wat mag ik aftrekken?
U mag in principe alleen het forfaitaire bedrag aftrekken. Het forfaitaire bedrag is een vast aftrekbaar bedrag. Dat wil zeggen dat de werkelijke kosten er niet toe doen."

"Deduction vs. Excemptions vs. Tax Credits
A deduction is something that you subtract from your income for the purpose of figuring your tax liability. For example, mortgage interest or charitable contributions.
An exemption is a fixed deduction given by the government for a certain purpose, such as your personal $2,900 exemption, or an exemption for each dependent. Sometimes deduction and exemption might be used interchangeably.
A tax credit is a horse of a different color. It's a subtraction that is made directly from taxes due..."

Chris Hopley
: Agree with the last comment: a tax credit is an exemption given for tax already paid (in another jurisdiction, for example).

eligible deduction
if it is about a deductable amount (from one's taxable income), than the technical term as I know it is 'eligible deduction' or 'eligible allowance'

I have edited the gloss
I have edited the gloss as 'forfeiture exemption' is clearly not the correct translation of 'forfaitare vrijstellingen'.
Thanks to strange twists of etymology, the current meaning of the Dutch word 'forfait' has nothing to do with the English word 'forfeit'. Forfait means "vast bedrag dat bij het inkomen moet worden opgeteld ... of daarvan mag worden afgetrokken" (Wolters), whereas forfeit means 'a penalty, a fine, something surrendered as a penalty, property or a right or privilege lost as a legal penalty' (Concise Oxford).
-> "forfait (o.; -s) vaste aftrek of bijtelling, bijvoorbeeld het huurwaardeforfait, waarbij eigen-huisbezitters een bedrag bij hun belastbaar inkomen moeten optellen."
