Rebates, Tax Deductions and Tax Credits. Whats the difference?

Rebates reduce the cost of the purchase by the amount of the rebate..

Tax deductions reduce your overall taxable income. The value of the deduction depends on your tax bracket. If you get a $1000 tax deduction and you are in the 20% tax bracket, the deduction will reduce your taxes by $200.

Tax credits reduce the amount of tax you owe. If you have a tax credit of $1500.00, the amount of tax you owe is reduced by $1500.00
