Asker: Thank you very much for the help and the references - are you sure that i'timan applies to a "credit" that is not a loan nor a reduction in tax but effectively a benefit?

Explanation:
This is a clear explanation of the term. A tax credit is a sum deducted from the total amount a taxpayer owes to the state. A tax credit may be granted for various types of taxes, such as an income tax, property tax, or VAT. It may be granted in recognition of taxes already paid, as a subsidy, or to encourage investment or other behaviors. In some systems tax credits are 'refundable'[1] to the extent they exceed the relevant tax. Tax systems may grant tax credits to businesses or individuals, and such grants vary by type of credit.

Notes to answerer

Asker: In the UK a tax credit may be a sum of money given to a low earner in excess of what they pay to the state, that is why I put this one on KudoZ
