TAXES AND THE REFUNDING OF DISCOUNT BONDS

Edward A. Dyl and Ronald W. Spahr

Journal of Financial Research, 1983, vol. 6, issue 4, 265-273

Abstract: This paper examines the effect of the Bankruptcy Tax Act of 1980 on the decision to refund corporate bonds selling at a discount. Historically, the refunding of discount debt has appeared to be profitable on a discounted cash flow basis. This study demonstrates, however, that the tax effects of the Bankruptcy Tax Act of 1980 have eliminated effectively any potential gains from refunding discounted debt.
