TAXING HEDGE FUND MANAGERS JUST LIKE REGULAR FOLKS — A MATTER OF FAIR PLAY?

ridgewood real-estate

chasing more tax payers out of the state , here is a clue you dont have to live in Jersey to run a hedge fund 

JOHN REITMEYER | JUNE 9, 2017

Performance fees earned by hedge fund managers are taxed at a far lower rate than personal income. The difference to NJ: as much as $100M annually

Lawmakers in the state Assembly gave their final approval yesterday to a bill that would establish a new tax in New Jersey to make up for what many consider to be a federal loophole that delivers a huge break to Wall Street fund managers.

Portrayed by supporters as an issue of basic fairness, the legislation would levy a hefty new tax on performance fees earned by managers of hedge funds and private-equity funds that are commonly referred to as “carried interest.”

The performance fees, under current federal rules, are generally taxed as capital gains instead of as individual income. The difference can provide huge savings for fund managers because of the higher tax rates that the federal government levies on personal income compared with the rates on capital gains.

New Jersey could generate $100 million or more in new revenue according to some estimates by establishing a state tax on the performance fees. The legislation, however, would also need to be passed in several other neighboring states to go into effect in New Jersey. If it were enacted only in New Jersey, it would be an open invitation for fund managers to move to a nearby state with a friendlier tax environment.

Ridgewood NJ, Sixty-five percent of moves in New Jersey are moving moving out of the state. Yes New Jersey is number one, but it’s nothing to proud of.

According to the 2014 Annual National Movers Study, New Jersey has the most number of people leaving the state.Last year, 65 percent of moves in New Jersey were people leaving the state.

In a News 12 New Jersey poll earlier this year  ; when asked residents who thought they would be leaving why the bulk of the respondents said the reason for the move is property taxes .
