Tax Due Diligence
Working closely with our Tax Merger & Acquisition group we can provide a detailed review and analysis of your target company's tax position.
The tax due diligence comprises an analysis of:
- tax compliance
- tax contingencies and aggressive positions
- transfer pricing
- identification of risk areas
- tax planning and opportunities
Our focus is on purchase price issues and purchase agreement considerations.
Tax Structuring
In the process of the global or local restructuring of your organisation, we can conduct a review to identify the most tax efficient structure and the optimal acquisition/transformation scenario which includes cross-border implications and which meets your needs. We can also provide you with a strategy regarding the pre-acquisition or disposal reorganisations, purchase price structuring, a review of the tax efficiency of the financing structures - including jurisdiction of financing vehicles, and financial modelling of the tax impact on your business.
