Errore comune:
Learners sometimes confuse "deduction" with "discount". A "deduction" is any amount taken off a total (for example, from your salary or your tax bill), while a "discount" is a special lower price offered to the customer. We usually say "a deduction from your salary" but "a discount on the price".
