No mention of any deferred tax on reverse mortgages in that 'Deferred Tax Asset' list, but then again there is no mention of any loan asset class. So it could be that such deferred asset tax, if it exists, is classified in another way.
I think this is one of those questions for which the answer is obvious provided you already know what the answer is. I am prepared to accept Winner's opinion that the tax must be paid before the loan is repaid. Another cashflow headache for Jeff.
