Restructuring corporate debt: cash-for-debt and debt-for-debt exchanges
Article Abstract:
The restructuring of corporate debt leads to tax consequences. This applies to both cash-for-debt exchanges, in which debt is retired for cash at a discount, and debt-for-debt exchanges, in which old debt is exchanged for new debt. One issue to consider in cash-for-debt exchanges is the exclusion of cancellation of debt income from gross income. Debt-for-debt exchanges are taxable except for cases in which they qualify as tax-free recapitalizations.
