As an issuer of tax-exempt bonds, or an obligated party in a tax-exempt issue, Bingham’s expertise can help you navigate the complexities of arbitrage rebate compliance.
Arbitrage is any interest or value earned over the declared yield of a tax-exempt bond issue as defined by Internal Revenue Code Section 103 and Section 148. Bingham’s experienced professionals can determine the amount, if any, that must be rebated (paid) to the Federal Government. Even if your issue does not earn arbitrage, the calculation is required at least every five years over the life of the issue.
