# Delete deduction

> Delete a driver deduction record by ID through the Alvys Public API, removing the deduction from payroll settlements and future driver pay statements.

This endpoint permanently deletes a deduction record by its unique identifier.
Use this method to remove a previously created deduction that was entered in error or is no longer needed.

Deletion removes only the deduction record itself — it does **not** affect any driver, or truck data. Once deleted, the deduction **cannot be recovered** through the API.

A successful deletion will immediately remove the deduction from all search and detail responses.

### Request Parameters

The following parameters are required in the URL path:

| Parameter | Type   | Required | Description                                              |
| --------- | ------ | -------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| version   | String | Yes      | The API version to use.                                  |
| id        | String | Yes      | The unique identifier (`Id`) of the deduction to delete. |

***

### Permissions Required

Only users or client credentials with **Delete access** to the **Deductions** resource can perform deletions.
If the API client lacks sufficient privileges, a `403 Forbidden` response will be returned.

### Versioning

Including the version number ensures that your integration remains stable as the API evolves.
For more details, refer to the [Versioning](/docs/versioning) page.

***

### Rate Limits

All endpoints are subject to standard rate limits to ensure consistent API performance.
For details, see the [Rate Limits](/docs/rate-limits) section.
