Plus/minus
Explanation:
These are instructions for the preparer to add/subtract the relevant items. In a native English form, this is expressed by the arithmetic terms. You could probably get away with "Add/subtract" as well but that's not how I would write the instruction in English.

agree  Kirsten Bodart: I'd go with 'added/subtracted' or 'deducted'. If really brave, you could go for 'plus/minus', but that doesn't look so good.
