Tax deduction
This article is about the deduction of expenses for the purpose of calculating taxable income. For tax deducted at source, see Withholding tax.
A tax deduction is an amount deducted from taxable income, usually based on expenses such as those incurred to produce additional income. Tax deductions are a form of tax incentives, along with exemptions and tax credits. The difference between deductions, exemptions, and credits is that deductions and exemptions both reduce taxable income, while credits reduce tax.
