Corporate bonds

are debt securities issued by private companies or banks to raise funds for business development.

By purchasing them, an investor lends money to a company that is obligated to repay the face value and pay interest (coupon) within a specified period. These instruments offer higher returns than bank deposits, but with higher risks.

Key Features of Corporate Bonds:

01
Issuer

Private legal entities (companies), not the government

02
Yield

Typically higher than government bonds

03
Risks

Payments are generally guaranteed solely by the issuing company

04
Taxation

Income from corporate bonds is subject to tax: 18% personal income tax + 5% military levy; standard passive income taxation applies to legal entities

05
Maturity

Typically long-term instruments (over one year), often ranging from 1 to 10 years, frequently with interim redemptions (put options)

Unlike government bonds, where income is tax-free, corporate bonds carry a higher servicing cost due to taxation — but they offer the opportunity to diversify your portfolio.
