AIC and NAIC Collaborate to Shut Down California Tax BillThe NAIC, in collaboration with the American investment Council (AIC), is happy to announce that California Assembly Bill 2731 (Gipson) is officially dead. The bill would have imposed a tax of 17% on that portion of an individuals taxable income derived from an investment management services interest, resulting in higher taxes for firms doing business within the state. The AIC spearheaded the lobbying effort to push back and reposition to the bill. NAIC leveraged relationships in California and its caucuses to enable the bill to fail without a floor vote from the California State Assembly and the California State Senate. NAIC's collaboration with AIC resulted in a unified voice across the private equity industry that was instrumental in protecting key tax provisions associated with the investment of capital for the purpose of long-term growth and capital appreciation. |
