Hello John. It appears that when investors chose to go with the conversation value of a loan note, the interest will not be added net of tax. For example, if it is a 9% loan note with 135 redemption value and 30% tax, it will be 9+135 discounted at the rate of return. Instead of 9(0.70) + 135. Am I correct and if yes, why is this so?

Market value of loan note in business valuations
7y ago#1It is investors who determine market values, and they are not affected by company tax. Company tax is never relevant when calculating the market values - it is only relevant when calculating the cost of debt to the company.
I stress this point in my lectures on the valuation of securities, because it is almost always relevant in at least one question in the exam.
Ooh okay. Thank you John.
