That's what I'm talking about! Sorry, I should have been more specific. I had heard that the carry on investment disposals that the general partners at VCs take will be taxed at 44%. I knew it was for only the very high earners, just couldn't remember the specifics.

I'm auditing a VC right now, and the tax people were talking about this when I overheard it. I really need to brush up on my tax stuff, I passed the Reg portion of the CPA exam a year ago, but forgot everything.


Off topic, just curious if this quote thing works as easily as it seems:
