Court rulings threaten hedge fund self-employment tax strategy
Original: Court rulings threaten longstanding hedge fund self-employment tax strategy
Recent court rulings have put in jeopardy a longstanding tax strategy used by hedge fund managers, who have structured their income to avoid self-employment taxes on management fees. The decisions suggest regulators and courts are increasingly willing to challenge these arrangements, raising concerns across the alternative asset industry about potential back taxes, penalties, and the need to restructure compensation practices.
Why now: Fresh court decisions have cast doubt on a widely used hedge fund tax avoidance technique, prompting industry concern.
