    Hi guys I was hoping someone would know the answer to this question.

    For example I owe $10,000 in a margin loan and I wish to prepay it in this financial year. My only option is to prepay it for 12 months but I plan to pay off the full 10k in 6 months.

    Am I allowed to prepay $5,000 for 12 months in advance to receive a deduction this financial year and pay off the 10k loan in 6 months and basically not have to worry about tax deductions the following financial year? Assuming 5k interest at 12 months = 10k at 6months. Does that make sense lol?

    Thanks
