Tax Credit

A tax credit reduces the amount of income tax you may have to pay.  Unlike a deduction, which reduces the amount of income subject to tax, a credit directly reduces the tax itself dollar for dollar. 

Taxes

Fees charged on business and individual income, activities, property or products by governments. People are required to pay taxes.
