Daniel Reis perguntou:
Em "day-to-day English" é mais comum você ouvir:
You can take it off the 200 *reais I owe you.
You can take it from the 200 reais I owe you.
*Just an observation, many native English speakers say "reals" instead of "reais".
Sim, é possível.É possível usar '' There's no need to pay me this amount, you can discount it FROM the 200 reais I owe you'' ?

There's no need for you to pay me this amount. You can discount it on 200 reais that I owe you.
Não posso afirmar que a preposição que eu usei depois do verbo "discount" está certa. Esperemos, então, por outras opiniões.

This one is not the most natural way to say that, I am afraid. Looks like Portuguese in English to me.

The catch isn´t on the preposition. In fact I wouldn´t use the "discount" word, in English whenever I saw it, it had a ring (a sense) of "paying less than you owe".
If negotiatint your debt with your credit agency, bank, financial institution etc, certainly you need a discount (say 10%, 15%, of the ammount you owe). There´s the cases of sale discounts in shops, on products etc.

So, I would stick to deduct it from...(a bit more formal I think) or "apply it to" (the amount you owe someone else...) [a bit more informal, to my thinking.)
Back then, I spent a lot of time on the phone with my lender. I’d pay a huge chunk of my loan, and instead of applying it to the principal, they’d apply it to future interest — and the interest amount was predetermined to be for a 20-year period.

Taking it to an even more informal/colloquial way, you can use the "take it off" that was suggested by Telma.
