    Democrats’ Bill Targets Private Equity, Hedge Fund Tax Break

    Three House Democrats are pushing legislation that would repeal the carried-interest tax break used by fund managers to reduce the levies they owe to the Internal Revenue Service.

    The bill would close the carried-interest tax break and require many hedge-fund and private-equity managers to pay higher ordinary income-tax rates, rather than the lower rates on capital gains. Representatives Bill Pascrell of New Jersey, Andy Levin of Michigan and Katie Porter of California are sponsoring the legislation, which could become part of broader talks on taxes in Congress in the coming months.

    The legislation would mean that investment fund managers could pay significantly higher tax rates, because they wouldn’t be able to classify some of their income, called carried interest, as capital-gains earnings. Ordinary tax rates max out at 37% and long-term capital gains rates are 20%, plus an additional 3.8% surcharge to fund the Affordable Care Act.
