Usage Note

Deduzione is feminine: la deduzione, le deduzioni. In logic it denotes reasoning from general principles to a specific conclusion (contrasting with induzione = induction). In tax and accounting, deduzione fiscale means a tax deduction — distinct from detrazione (tax credit), a distinction that matters for Italian tax returns.

Examples

"La sua deduzione era logica e convincente."
