A business loan is a tool that can help you boost your business revenue and give it a fresh life. With a business loan, you can finance your various business needs and ensure that there are no financial roadblocks in its smooth functioning. While you might know that a business loan can be significantly helpful for your enterprise's success, you must also know that it can help you save money too. You can claim various tax benefits on business loans that can help you reduce your taxability and save money.
Here are some tax benefits, which you can claim on business loans.
Interest Repayment on a Business Loan
When an expense/income is tax-deductible, that amount is deducted from your total taxable income, and you need not pay taxes on them. You can get a tax deduction in your taxable income for the amount paid for the business loan interest.
In short, the interest payment you make towards the business loan is tax-deductible. It is because these are considered as a business expense and not business revenue. To claim this tax deduction, you can write off the interest payment as an expense. However, you must know that the principal repayment of the business loan is not tax-deductible.
Business Expense
The Income Tax Act also allows certain business expenses as deductions. But these should be directly related to the business. These are called tax-deductible business expenses. These expenses are used for the daily operations of the business that converts into profits and growth of the company. Such expenses are allowed to be subtracted from the overall business revenue to reach the taxable income. However, not all expenses used in operations are constituted in the business revenue. You can therefore, calculate taxable income by subtracting tax-deductible expenses from gross revenue.
Following are some expenses that do not form a part of business revenue
Points to Consider for Business Loan Tax Benefits
A business loan can help you enjoy tax benefits and save money. However, if you are not well versed with the taxation provisions, it can be tricky to claim the deductions in your income tax return. It would be best to approach a financial expert and claim the appropriate tax benefits.
