The proposal would update tax rules for publicly traded partnerships, which are investment structures that trade on stock exchanges and currently face special tax treatment. The changes would modernize how these partnerships are taxed and regulated to reflect modern business practices. This would primarily affect investors in these partnerships and the companies that use this business structure.
