9 Section 1061: Taxation of Carried Interest New Law: Imposes a 3 year holding period requirement, rather than a 1 year holding period requirement, for long-term capital gain in respect of an applicable partnership interest - Test looks to the holding period of the asset giving rise to the gain, not to the holding period of the applicable partnership interest. - Also applies to gain on sale of applicable partnership interests held for three years or less Does not apply to: - Dividends - An interest in a partnership directly or indirectly held by a corporation - Notice : regulations will provide that corporation does not include an S corporation - Any capital interest in the partnership which provides the taxpayer with a right to share in partnership capital commensurate with (i) the amount of capital contributed (determined at the time of receipt of such partnership interest) or (ii) the value of such interest subject to tax under Section 83 upon the receipt or vesting of such interest. 9
10 Section 1061: Taxation of Carried Interest Applicable partnership interest: Any interest in a partnership which, directly or indirectly, is transferred to (or is held by) the taxpayer in connection with the performance of substantial services by the taxpayer, or any related person, in any applicable trade or business. Related person: A person is related to the taxpayer if the person is a member of the taxpayer s family within the meaning of Section 318(a)(1) [in general, spouse, children, grandchildren and parents] or the person performed services within the current year or the preceding three calendar years in any applicable trade or business in which or for which the taxpayer performed a service. 10

12 Section 1061: Taxation of Carried Interest Not all funds are equally impacted - Hedge: unaffected where typical hold period is 1 year or less - Venture: early stage investments generally have longer hold periods, but followon investments may be an issue - Buyout: potential issue for dividend recaps (distributions in excess E+P and basis) and shorter term holds - Growth equity: likely will be an issue Planning alternatives - Forego gain allocations with later true up - Structure acquisition for holding period tacking - Distributions in kind - Dividend income 12
13
14 Section 864(c)(8): ECI from the Disposition of Certain Partnership Interests Section 864(c)(8): Rev Rul Codified - All or a portion of gain or loss on the sale or exchange or other disposition of an interest in a partnership engaged in a trade or business within the US is treated as a ECI - Amount of gain or loss treated as ECI is based on hypothetical liquidation of partnership s assets (through all lower-tier partnerships, including ECIgenerating flow-through operating companies) as of the date of disposition 14

Also provides guidance in determining amount realized. 15
16 Section 1446(f): New ECI Withholding Rules IRS Notice (cont.) permitted certificates: - Seller certification: no realized gain - Seller certification: de minimis historical ECI - < 25% of Seller s distributive share of partnership income for the preceding year and two prior years was ECI - Seller must have received K-1s and Forms 8805 to substantiate - Timing issues what if < 3 years of K-1 history; transfers before due date for K-1s may require additional year of reporting - Partnership certification: de minimis ECI - < 25% of gain would be ECI under 864(c)(8) upon a hypothetical sale of the partnership s assets - Will managers of funds agree to provide certification? 16
17 Section 1446(f): New ECI Withholding Rules IRS Notice (cont.) - Partnership secondary withholding suspended (for now) - Further guidance to come - 25% threshold may be reduced - Non-recognition transactions Additional open questions: Interaction with other withholding obligations (e.g., non-us partnership-seller s withholding obligations)? - Can equivalent reports be used to substantiate lack of historic ECI (e.g., where K-1s were not required to be provided)? 17
18 Section 512(a)(6): UBTI Loss Limitations New Law - UBTI losses from one trade or business cannot be used to offset gains from another unrelated trade or business. - Special transition rule permits carryforward of net operating losses arising in a taxable year beginning before January 1, IRS Notice Tax-exempt orgs can treat unrelated businesses held through multiple partnerships as a single trade or business - Qualifying partnership interests - 2% capital and profits threshold - 20% capital threshold where tax-exempt lacks control or influence - What does control or influence mean? 18
