español term
Trimestre real vs. trimestre natural
español al inglés
Jurídico/Patentes
Derecho: impuestos y aduanas
el Ajuntament pasará a interpretar las tasas por ocupación con sillas y mesas por trimestres reales y no por trimestres naturales de manera que todas las solicitudes se abonarán por el período real de ocupación comprendido desde la fecha de inicio y la fecha de final independientemente de que éstas pueda abarcar el final de un trimestre natural y el principio del siguiente, lo que obligaría al interesado a pagar por un total de seis meses.
I understand the concept here, which is that previously if someone wanted to pay a tax to have tables and chairs on a bar terrace, for example, they would have to pay two calendar quarters if the period they chose overlapped two quarters, even though the actual period of the use of the public space was only 3 months (so for the period February to April you would actually have paid the first two whole quarters of the year from January to June). The change is that now you only pay the "real" quarter, but my problem is how we would express "trimestre real" compared with "trimestre natural" ("calendar quarter"?).
Thanks in advance. UK Eng please.

three-month periods
I don't see why we couldn't use "actual/real quarters" but if you think that may lead to confusion, perhaps best to spell it out.
"Three-month periods" vs. "calendar quarters".
"Three-month periods" vs. "calendar quarters".

quarter to date vs. calendar quarter
A time interval that captures all relevant company activity that occurred between the beginning of the current quarter and the time in which the data was gathered. Quarter to date information is typically gathered in situations when the entire quarterly period has not ended yet, and it can allow management to see how the quarter is shaping up.
Investopedia Says:
For example, a company may have software that is tracking its revenue for the quarter to date. If the information is suggesting that QTD revenue is dramatically lower than the same quarter from last year, this updated data will allow management to start looking for trends to see what is different compared to last year. Further analysis can also determine if any changes will need to be made in order to improve the situation.
