The Relative Tax Benefits of Alternative Call Features in Corporate Debt

Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis, 1985, vol. 20, issue 1, 95-105

Abstract: This paper examines the differential tax treatment of the borrower and lender at the time debt is called as a potential explanation for the widespread existence of call provisions in corporate debt. This tax effect alone cannot explain the standard call feature because greater tax benefits may be derived for bonds callable at market prices. The equilibrium implications of the model allowing for tax arbitrage opportunities both at the corporate level and the individual level also are considered.
