No, required debt payments (amortization) are not tax-deductible. You are simply returning a portion of the principal to the creditor and you recognized no taxable income upon receipt of the original funds.
Interest expense is generally tax-deductible, though there are some tax rules you need to consider, especially in LBO / highly levered situations.
Hope that helps.
Is preferred equity PIK interest tax deductible? Was having a discussion in my group whether that's interest or dividends.
yes PIK interest is non-cash and tax deductible
Thanks, am aware. Wondering about PIK interest on preferred equity specifically since it's technically a dividend and not an interest payment.
