Retención (withholding)

Retención is the portion of an invoice or payslip that the payer withholds and pays directly to the tax agency on account of the recipient's income tax. For freelancers invoicing companies, this amount is subtracted from what you actually get paid, but it counts as a prepayment that is reconciled in your annual tax return.
