Carried interest & losses offset
The concept of Carried Interest was introduced into the 2017 Tax returns by HMRC. It is a share of the profits of an investment paid to the investment manager in excess of the amount that the manager contributes to the partnership, specifically in alternative investments i.e. private equity and hedge funds.
Carried interest is chargeable to Capital Gains Tax and is taxed at 28%.
