Tax Advantage

Any act or structure that reduces the amount of tax one pays. For example, one may derive a tax advantage by investing in a tax-exempt bond as opposed to a corporate bond (on which one pays taxes). Numerous tax advantages are built into tax codes in order to encourage certain behavior. For example, in the United States, one derives a tax advantage from writing off the interest on one's mortgage. This structure exists to encourage homeownership.
