Can the interest charged on your loan principal be deducted for tax purposes?
LibertyReverseMortga...
It varies on the jurisdiction under which the loan was taken out and the purpose of the loan.
Generally speaking, if a loan is taken out to benefit a business, the business can claim the interest on that loan as a business expense and offset it against income.
A loan taken out for personal reasons, however, does not fit that profile. Interest on a loan taken out for personal reasons, and interest on credit cards, which are basically the same thing, are not tax deductible.
In the United States of America, interest you pay on the mortgage of your principal residence could be written off against income. That may not be true any longer.
If you have any questions about this, I strongly recommend consulting the tax code of your country, or a competent tax lawyer.
