Abstract:
Most tax policy experts agree that the tax treatment of carried interest should depend on whether it is more appropriately classified as capital gains income or as compensation for services performed. Assuming that carried interest is compensating fund managers for the services they provide, it should be taxed at the same rates that apply to other forms of labor compensation.Â
