Financial engineers do not need personal tax breaks, especially not in the current climate. Use the latest example of a “carried interest” bonanza to inject some common sense. Any change would arrive too late for the Dr Martens float, but Rishi Sunak shouldn’t let that deter him. The Treasury, it was reported last autumn, is mulling reform. That tax oddity has always looked indefensible since the beneficiaries aren’t putting any capital at risk and their winnings are bonuses in all but name. “Carried interest” payments are treated as capital gains, and thus taxed at only 28%, rather than at the top rate of income tax of 45%. The investors in the relevant Permira fund will also do very well, obviously, but “carried interest” is the real kicker for the private equity crew. Dr Martens – “a canvas for rebellious self-expression across generations,” or so the corporate hype has it – is about to create a large cast of multi-millionaires. And, of course, the numbers assume a complete disposal of Dr Martens, whereas the float is the only the first stage in the sell-down.īut the picture looks broadly correct.

Nor do we know how Permira allocates its bonus pool sums for individuals could be diluted by duff investments elsewhere by the same fund. First, we don’t know precisely what investment hurdle Permira employs before “carried interest” kicks in (Morris has assumed 8%, typical for the industry). Those figures are averages, per head, for 50 people.Ī few qualifications are needed. If 80% of the pool were to be shared equally among 50 individuals, at Permira and among Dr Martens’ management, each person would be looking at between £6.6m (at a £3bn valuation) and £9m (at a £4bn valuation). Now consider that only 300 people work at Permira and that the “carry” spoils tend to be concentrated among senior staff. At a valuation of £3bn, the carry pool would be worth £410m, at £3.5bn, it’ll be £485m and £4bn would mean £560m.
