Tax Records – Tax issues in M&A transactions: part 1

In the first of a two-part series further exploring M&A and related tax issues, Frank Hinoporos and Michael Parker consider the key things clients need to ‘get their house in order’ from a tax perspective before embarking on an M&A deal. This includes managing tax issues before entering into a ‘terms sheet’, the pre sale restructuring risks that need to be managed, and practical strategies to address the historic tax exposures or risks identified during the due diligence process.
