deducción
Deducción es aplicable en esta situación.
'Write-off' es, sin embargo 'pérdida'.
Por ejemplo, en contabilidad esto significaría un débito al rubro 'ganancias y pérdidas'.
En lenguaje cotidiano, 'write-off' es usado para describir algo (automóvil, etc.) que ha sido dañado irreparablemente y será considerado como pérdida.
