Understanding and planning for tax implications of the transactionEvery transaction has tax implications, whether it is an acquisition, disposal, refinancing, restructuring or initial public offering. Understanding and planning for these implications can mitigate transaction risk, enhance opportunity and provide crucial negotiation insights.

Transactions on emerging markets pose considerable challenges as there is scarce information when it comes to taxes which mean proper tax due diligence is essential. Based on the collected data, our tax team will help you with identifying tax risks and potential problems that need to be solved before or immediately after the transaction and those which may influence the price negotiation. We may also help you also with grasping available tax opportunities and designing tax-efficient acquisition structuring.
If you are the seller, we can provide you with assistance before and during the sale process, helping you identify the key tax issues and information that you need to prepare/ address.
Restructurings of a group of companies and M&A activities are most often not tax triggered but have always tax implications, being that in the area of tax risks or possibilities for tax savings or benefits. Knowing the associated tax costs may influence the decision on restructuring steps and its overall design. We can help you ensure that you do your restructurings and M&A deals in most tax efficient way.
