PricewaterhouseCoopers M&A tax network is comprised of over 600 specialist staff and partners, who work with the world’s leading organisations to deliver M&A tax advice encompassing strategy, process and implementation. We give clients the benefits of international expertise and in-depth understanding of the local realities. In Bulgaria our solutions include:
Due Diligence review
We identify potential tax liabilities, evaluate the tax benefits of asset or share deal and address issues, which may affect price or warranties. We take into consideration all Bulgarian taxes and tax-like levies, as well as the applicable statutes of limitation. This approach results in an improved valuation and is reassuring to both current and future investors.
Advice in structuring the transactions
Careful evaluation of the tax impact of the transaction on both the company and its shareholders will assist in minimising a group’s tax burden and enhance cash-flow and profit. We examine deductibility of transaction cost, consider the impact of the Bulgarian thin capitalisation restrictions and advise on the available tax planning opportunities including specific tax incentives and optimisation techniques.
Post deal advice and assistance
In the period immediately after a major transaction – merger, acquisition or buyout – it is imperative that management is able to rapidly and effectively implement its business strategy. Our services during this critical period will help ensure that tax is a controlled and value driven function.
