discount differential
Explanation:
The phrase refers to the difference between the company's notional earnings (no. units sold x unit list price) and actual income (many units will be sold a greater or smaller discount on unit price, reducing total company income).

"Forbice" is often used to indicate the difference between a bank's borrowing rate and lending rate.

FWIW,

Explanation:
Is this supposed to be "forchetta"?

There is a price scissors effect much discussed, maybe the phrase crept in accidentally?

discount bracket


Explanation:
Forbice dei prezzi is translated as "price bracket" by Codeluppi, so I would imagine you can also use it for the discounts on these prices.
Otherwise, forbice can also be translated as "spread", e.g. forbice dei tassi (bancari) is the yield spread.
