The passage of tax reform last December gave investors greater security when it comes to corporate tax rates in the near future. One consequence is the increased interest of some investors in acquiring payment rights under existing tax receivable agreements (TRAs). In short, ACCORDS are agreements made by a company (a "pubco") as part of an IPO to monetize Pubco`s tax attributes after the IPO for the benefit of owners prior to the IPO and investors who acquire payment rights under TRAs to such pre-IPO owners. Our previous article on ARTs focused on some ways in which tax reform could affect the value of TRA payment rights. Since the introduction of tax reform, we have seen a marked increase in investor interest in the acquisition of TRA payment rights, including through hedge funds, family offices and private trust funds.

(B) interest payments and capital expenditures) to protect its revenues from tax. The two most common forms of TRAs are "NOL TRAs" and "Step-Up TRAs." CEPs have been described by some critics as "bizarre" and "sneaky", but the economic and fiscal consequences of different types of TRAs have remained largely unexplored in the literature.

This article examines whether reviewers` comments on ARTs have value or whether ARTs are simply an effective contract between owners prior to the IPO and state-owned enterprises.
