Carried interest at risk of tax hike
The UK government has launched an investigation into the capital gains tax system, sparking concerns that there will be a tax hike for private equity executives receiving carried interest.
Under the current rules, carried interest is subject to a minimum 28% capital gains tax charge, while income is taxed at a rate of at least 40% for those making above £50,000.
