Transaction Tax Services
We will fully support you in all transactions to ensure they fully comply with all tax regulations and to minimise the associated tax burden and any risks.
Tax due diligence of target companies
We will perform a thorough tax due diligence of the target company in order to identify potential tax risks which could have an impact on the purchase price value or which could crystallise after the acquisition. During this process, we closely cooperate with the financial due diligence team as well as with the legal team that inspects the tax due diligence from the legal perspective. We offer tax due diligence services to both the buy-side as well as the sell-side in the form of a vendor due diligence.
Tax structuring services
We will develop a tax-optimal acquisition and financing structure for the buyer and an optimal sale-structure for the seller. Our primary goal is to minimise the potential tax burden connected to the transaction that could crystallise upon the acquisition or later and to enable the buyer to apply tax deductions (concerning interest, in particular) with respect to financing the transaction.
Other tax transaction services
We also provide other transaction tax services such as the tax review of transaction documentation (especially share purchase agreement with respect to the target company), tax optimisation of incentive plans for management, assistance with the implementation of the acquisition or selling structure, and so on.
