Think tank proposes NYC tax on carry

The Fiscal Policy Institute estimates a 2 percent tax on carry would produce annual revenues of $160m to $200m – figures budget-conscious legislators aren’t likely to miss.

Carried interest is pay for performance, and like management fees, should be taxed by New York City, concludes a report from the Fiscal Policy Institute.

The 4 percent unincorporated business tax (UBT), which all unicorporated companies or professionals conducting business in whole or in part in New York City must pay, currently amounts to a 2 percent rate for management fee income, due to a tax credit passed last year coupled with federal tax deductions.
