New York, NY -- (SBWire) -- 10/26/2021 --The topic of private equity profits is one that has occupied lawmakers in the USA for many years. Politicians have always been keen to get hold of a bigger share of these profits and look like they could be getting closer to this goal. A new proposal that has been created by Democratic lawmakers would potentially increase tax rates on so-called carried interest products and also lengthen how long general partners are required to hold an asset before they can have access to a favorable tax rate. Currently, carried interest is viewed as a capital gain, which means that managers generally only pay a federal tax rate of 23.8% if certain conditions are met. One of the crucial conditions is that the asset has been held for three years, a time limit that the new proposals would extend to five. It's clear that governments are seeking to generate more taxes but whether private equity profits are the right source for this remains to be seen.
