Likely against the loan interest they pay every year.

You can get a future tax break if you lose money this year? One might think that they find ways to make it look like it’s loss making which gives then credits for others years in which they slip up and look like they made a profit so they don’t have to pay tax then either? Or the owners make sure that they get paid plenty but the thing they own doesn’t officially make any money…. Nah, I’m sure that can’t happen.

Edit: I feel like I might need to add a /s to my last sentence?
