Wyden introduces carried interest bill
Wyden introduces carried interest bill
U.S. Senate Finance Committee ranking member Ron Wyden (D-OR) today introduced a bill to change the tax treatment of carried interest—the “Ending the Carried Interest Loophole Act.”
A press release issued by Senator Wyden states:
For the first time, the Ending the Carried Interest Loophole Act closes the entire carried interest loophole—recharacterization of income from wage-like income to lower-taxed investment income and deferral of tax payments. Previously introduced bills addressed only the re-characterization of income from wage-like income to investment income.
