Private Equity's Book Income Tax Problem

And litigating with the industry could take years — and might fail. But the alternative could be worse: forgoing tax revenue and allowing the industry to notch another tax victory,” said Monte A. Jackel, of counsel to Leo Berwick and an adjunct professor at Catholic University Law School.
