Usage Note

Detrazione in Italian fiscal language means a tax deduction or credit that reduces the amount of tax owed — detrazione fiscale, detrazione d'imposta. It differs from deduzione (deduction from taxable income): a detrazione reduces the tax bill directly, while a deduzione reduces taxable income before tax is calculated. The distinction matters in Italian tax returns (dichiarazione dei redditi).

Examples

"Puoi richiedere la detrazione per le spese mediche."

Natural Translation

You can claim the tax deduction for medical expenses.
