Minimum interest on Seller Note

by a searcher from University of Pennsylvania - The Wharton School

Hi All,

I have a deal under LOI, and the Seller recently proposed a 0% interest Seller Note (to offset some other unanticipated costs). Does anyone have information on the tax implications of this, if any? I'm not sure if there is a minimum interest rate required on the Seller Note.

Thanks!
