Testimony will focus on tax reform and the taxation of debt and equity
Boulder – University of Colorado Law Professor Victor Fleischer has been invited to testify before a historic joint hearing of the House of Representatives Committee on Ways and Means and the Senate Committee on Finance. His testimony will address tax reform and the tax treatment of debt and equity. It is the first joint hearing of the two Congressional committees on tax reform since 1940.
Fleischer is scheduled to testify on Wednesday, July 13 at 7:00 a.m. (MST) in Room HVC-210 of the Capitol Visitor Center in Washington, D.C.
Fleischer gained national prominence in 2007 when he wrote a paper on the tax treatment of carried interest. He testified before the Senate Committee on Finance in June 2007 on that topic, as well as the House Committee on Ways and Means in September 2007.
More recently, Fleischer was quoted in New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof’s July 6 Op-Ed on tax loopholes on carried interest.
