Private equity industry will welcome some short-term certainty on carried interest

30 October 2024

Commenting on changes to carried interest, Amanda Tickel, head of tax and trade policy at Deloitte, said:

“The industry will welcome the government’s recognition of the importance of preserving the UK’s competitive position as a global asset management hub.

“Whilst the increase in the headline tax rate on carried interest – from 28% to 32% from April 2025 – is towards the higher end compared to other key private capital hubs, it does provide welcome certainty for the industry in the short term. 

“However, what does remain uncertain are the qualifying conditions that will be required to be met in order to access the effective tax rate of c.34% from April 2026. The new regime could create challenges for existing funds and those with an internationally mobile talent base, so the proposed consultation will be very important to avoid any unintended consequences.”
