Real Estate Industry Advocates for Carried Interest in Tax Discussions
March 28, 2025 - 10:50
A coalition of real estate trade groups is taking a firm stance on the issue of carried interest as lawmakers navigate the complexities of extending the 2017 tax cuts while addressing the federal deficit. Carried interest allows investment fund managers to pay a lower tax rate on earnings, and it has been a contentious topic in tax reform discussions.
As the deadline for tax legislation approaches, these real estate organizations are urging legislators to consider the implications of any changes to carried interest on the industry. They argue that the current tax structure encourages investment in real estate projects, which can stimulate economic growth and job creation.
The coalition emphasizes that altering the treatment of carried interest could have significant repercussions, potentially discouraging investment in critical housing and infrastructure projects. As discussions continue, the real estate sector is keen to ensure that its interests are represented in any forthcoming tax legislation.
