evidence" on reforming the taxation of carried interest a few

future UK carried interest rules, we believe the interaction of
those rules with the taxation of inpatriates is equally important.

their receipt of distributions. The issue is particularly relevant
for US taxpaying carry holders due to the accrual basis of taxation
for carried interest in the US, contrasting with the distribution
basis prevalent in other jurisdictions.
