  I present the contribution of gluinos and scalar quarks to the decay rate of
the top quark into a charged Higgs boson and a bottom quark within the minimal
supersymmetric standard model, including the mixing of the scalar partners of
the left- and right-handed top quark. I show that for certain values of the
supersymmetric parameters the standard QCD loop corrections to this decay mode
are diminished or enhanced by several 10 per cent. I show that not only a small
value of 3 GeV for the gluino mass (small mass window) but also much larger
values of several hundreds of GeV's have a non-neglible effect on this decay
rate, against general belief. Last but not least, if the ratio of the vacuum
expectation values of the Higgs bosons are taken in the limit of $v_1\ll v_2$ I
obtain a drastic enhancement due to a $\tan\beta$\ dependence in the couplings.
