Deduction, discount (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rebate

This clue is a double definition.

'deduction' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'discount' is the second definition.
(rebating is a kind of discounting)

(Other definitions for rebate that I've seen before include "Beater (anag) -- partial refund" , "Refund of part of the amount paid" , "Refund - discount" , "Sum paid back" , "Money back, partial refund" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
