What are the advantages of Debt?
It is imperative to learn about two terms ‘Good Debt’ and ‘Bad Debt’ to know about the importance of debt. How much debt the company or individual can afford to take depends upon its/his financial standing or the difference in asset and liability. A debt that can be repaid without a default is a ‘Good Debt’. A company having a large amount of debt may be unable to fulfill interest payments if its sales fall. It will, therefore, be putting the business in danger of insolvency. It may eventually be a ‘Bad Debt’. On the opposite side, a company that does not make use of debt may miss opportunities for business expansion.

How tax debt increases with time
Unpaid taxes always attract penalties. The IRS usually charges a 0.5% penalty on the total tax debt amount for failure to pay. At most, the IRS can charge a 25% penalty on the total tax debt amount. Each month, the IRS charges not only a penalty on a tax debt but also interest on the total tax debt. As the total tax debt increases each month due to penalties and interest, over time, it can grow into a significant amount.
