          • A taxable benefit arises when an employee is


               offered a  free interest loan by the employer  for



               interest that is lower than the official rate.



          • Official rate of interest =Repurchase rate + 100



               basis points.



          • Cash equivalent=Interest on the loan-official rate


               of interest.




          • If the employee uses the loan in the production of


               income the interest is deductable.
