扣除

• 拼音: kòu chú

含义

To deduct; to withhold. Taking away a portion from a total, typically for taxes, fees, or penalties.

Commonly used in financial and administrative contexts for payroll deductions, tax withholdings, or penalty subtractions. The action is typically legitimate and authorized, unlike 克扣 which implies improper withholding.
