Hi. For sample answer Appendix 3, for the subsidized loan, please may I know why there is a tax shield lost? Shouldn’t a subsidized loan have a tax shield?
Thank you.

The subsidised loan does have a tax benefit. What is lost is the tax benefit on the difference between the normal interest rate and the subsidised interest rate.
