rebate
含义: A partial refund to someone who has paid too much for something, especially a tax or utility bill; a deduction or discount on a payment.
Rebate describes money returned to a payer, typically by a government, utility company, or retailer. Council tax rebates, energy rebates, and cash-back rebates on purchases are common examples. It differs from a discount (which reduces the initial price) in that a rebate is paid back after the full amount has been charged. Common collocations include 'tax rebate,' 'council tax rebate,' 'claim a rebate,' 'receive a rebate,' and 'energy rebate.'
