The government on July 24, 2025, submitted Bill No. 8590 to the Chamber of Deputies—draft legislation aimed at modernizing the tax regime for carried interest.

The bill seeks to introduce a permanent and comprehensive framework that better aligns manager incentives with investor performance, and includes:

  • Clear distinction between ordinary returns and “outperformance” returns
  • Replacement of the enumeration of holding types with a broad, catch-all reference that encompasses all forms of holdings, including both corporate and partnership structures
  • Two income tax treatments depending on whether the carried interest is contractual (granted without any capital contribution or equity stake) or investment-linked (tied to a direct or indirect ordinary participation in the alternative investment fund)
