Discount new beater (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rebate

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

'new beater' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates an anagram.
'beater' anagrammed gives 'REBATE'.

(Other definitions for rebate that I've seen before include "Money back for beater" , "Money back, partial refund" , "Discount - tax return?" , "Return of, eg, tax" , "A bit taken off wood" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
