Trump to end carried interest 'loophole' while lowering rate for S corp income to 15%?

  1. Trump's administration may not actually go through with ending carried interest taxation, but it sounds like it's still a distinct possibility based on today's WSJ article (can't link it in this post).
  2. Last week the administration also proposed a 15% tax rate for S corp (pass-through corporation) income.

What are the implications for HF's and PE funds of the administration passing both #1 and #2? Could PE partnerships restructure as S corps? Would publicly traded GP's be affected by these changes?
