History: Why we have Arbitrage Rebate
? To prevent abuses, the tax code limits the permitted uses of tax-exempt bonds
? Prevents issuance of more bonds than are necessary ? Prevents issuance of bonds earlier than is necessary ? Prevents bonds from remaining outstanding longer than is necessary ? Limitations on advance refunding (1-time only) ? In other words, borrow what you need, when you need it, for an appropriate duration based on what is being
financed.
? Tax law and Regulations create financial disincentives (i.e., arbitrage rebate) to prevent issuance of tax-exempt debt for profit-driven reasons
? Yield restriction ? IRC Section 148(b) ? Arbitrage rebate ? IRC Section 148(f) ? Overlapping requirements ? "Belt & Suspenders"
? Applies to every tax-exempt borrowing and some taxable subsidy obligations

How is Arbitrage Measured?
? Arbitrage rebate liability =
? Earnings of bond proceeds invested in taxable securities less (-) ? Earnings of bond proceeds invested at the Arbitrage Yield
? "Positive Arbitrage" = Actual Earnings > Earnings @ arbitrage yield (positive earnings yield spread) ? "Negative Arbitrage" = Actual Earnings < Earnings @ arbitrage yield (negative earnings yield
spread)
? Future value methodology ? Measured on an issue-by-issue basis
? Within an issue, aggregated among funds
