Mergers and Acquisitions/ Private Equity
Early tax planning is essential to reduce both the actual transaction tax costs and the long-term sustainable tax rate following the transaction. When making an acquisition, disposing of a non-core business or going through a merger, companies need to manage tax risk and ensure future net cash flows are optimised.
