Then, when the bond matures, you collect the face value and you will owe a capital gains tax that will probably be lower than your ordinary tax rate. You will need to pay interest annually on the 1 percent, but you will delay most of the taxes that you will eventually owe.
Thank you. This is the type of suggestion I was looking for. I will look into it.
