Legislation seeks to close carried interest tax loophole

Legislation recently introduced in the U.S. Senate would close the carried interest loophole and ensure hedge fund managers and private equity CEOs pay their fair share in taxes. © Shutterstock The carried interest loophole permits hedge funds executives and private equity firms to re-characterize compensation from traditional income to capital gains in order to opt into lower tax rates or put off paying taxes indefinitely. The Ending the Carried Interest Loophole Act would prevent the re-characterization of income by requiring fund managers to recognize their annual compensation. Compensation then would be taxed at ordinary income rates. Closing the loophole would raise $63.1 billion over 10 years, according to a Joint Committee on Taxation estimate. U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR), Senate Finance Committee ranking member, and U.S. Sens. Angus King (I-ME) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) introduced the bill. It has the support of Americans for Tax Fairness, the Patriotic Millionaires, and Small Business Majority. “The carried interest loophole allows some of the wealthiest individuals in our country to pay a lower tax rate on their compensation while middle-class Americans pay their fair share in taxes,” King said. “Our Ending the Carried Interest Loophole Act is about restoring basic fairness and common sense to the tax code, not to mention making a dent in our national deficit.” The post Legislation seeks to close carried interest tax loophole appeared first on Financial Regulation News.

Legislation would provide privacy protections for credit union members

Proposed legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives would provide privacy protections to credit union members. © Shutterstock The bill would amend Title V of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) to provide exceptions designed to preserve operational flexibility around data retention activities and recognize small financial institution compliance costs, and includes a provision relating to pre-emption of state laws. In response to the released draft of the bill, America’s Credit Unions, a national trade association representing credit unions, sent a letter to U.S. Reps. French Hill (R-AR), House Financial Services Committee chairman, and Bill Huizenga (R-MI), the bill’s sponsor to express concerns and provide additional recommendations. “While the proposed bill includes important relief — such as exceptions designed to preserve operational flexibility around data retention activities, recognition of small financial institution compliance costs, and a significant provision relating to preemption of state laws — credit unions are concerned that expansion of the GLBA’s obligations for financial institutions when undertaken alone will contribute to greater burden without the benefit of consistent federal safeguards applying across the wider economy,” Greg Mesack, America’s Credit Unions senior vice president of advocacy, said. On March 27, the Financial Services Committee requested industry feedback on the discussion draft of the bill.

U.S. senators support SEC efforts to address risks to markets from China

A bipartisan coalition of U.S. senators voiced their support for efforts by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to address risks to U.S. investors and markets from China-linked entities accessing U.S. capital markets. © Shutterstock In a letter to SEC Chairman Paul Atkins, the senators raised concerns about risks posed by opaque corporate structures, including variable interest entities (VIEs). They also raised concerns about PRC legal and data-sharing requirements that may limit regulatory oversight and expose sensitive information of U.S. investors. Further, the lawmakers highlighted the challenges U.S. regulators face in obtaining critical information due to PRC restrictions and underscored the importance of continued vigilance against fraud, manipulation, and misleading disclosures tied to foreign issuers. “China’s access to U.S. markets – without appropriate safeguards – can put American investors and our financial system at greater risk… the PRC directly and indirectly exerts pressure on Chinese-owned and controlled entities to prioritize Beijing’s geopolitical interests – not the well-being of U.S. investors and the integrity of our financial markets,” the senators wrote in a letter to Atkins. “American investors in these structures will – sometimes unknowingly – purchase shares in an offshore shell company contractually tied to a PRC-based operating entity… the structure leaves investors without insight into the operating entity’s true ownership structure, with weak contractual claims, and with little or no meaningful legal protection.” The letter was led by Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott (R-SC) and Ranking Member Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) . “The SEC is doing important work to protect American investors, and this bipartisan effort builds on that foundation. As China continues to exploit gaps in our markets, we must ensure that our regulatory framework keeps pace – strengthening transparency, safeguarding investor data, and preserving the integrity of the world’s premier capital markets,” Scott said. It was also signed by Senate Banking Committee Sens. Mike Crapo (R-ID), Mike Rounds (R-SD), Thom Tillis (R-NC), John Kennedy (R-LA), Bill Hagerty (R-TN), Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), Katie Britt (R-AL), Pete Ricketts (R-NE), Jim Banks (R-IN), Kevin Cramer (R-ND), Bernie Moreno (R-OH), Dave McCormick (R-PA), Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), Raphael Warnock (D-GA), Andy Kim (D-NJ), and Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-DE). “The SEC has a responsibility to ensure that Chinese companies and other foreign actors are not exploiting shadowy investment vehicles to access our markets, vacuum up sensitive financial and consumer data for misuse by the Chinese government, and leave millions of American investors at risk,” Warren said. “There’s no excuse for ignoring these growing concerns, and Congress will keep pushing the SEC to act to protect investors and our markets.” The post U.S. senators support SEC efforts to address risks to markets from China appeared first on Financial Regulation News.
