Mergers and Acquisitions Tax
We work closely with the Corporate Mergers & Acquisitions and Private Equity departments on a wide range of mergers and acquisitions, providing tax advice on deal structuring and the sale documentation. In particular, we advise on:
- tax-efficient acquisition structuring, including advice on the deductibility of finance costs on shareholder debt and planning for a subsequent exit
- the tax position of selling shareholders, including applying for any relevant clearances, structuring consideration in a tax efficient manner and the application of the employment-related securities legislation
- the structuring of private equity transactions from the perspective of both the purchaser and the management team, including MoU compliance issues and withholding tax/ transfer pricing issues on shareholder debt
- pre and post-sale restructurings for groups of companies
- drafting and negotiation of tax covenants and warranties and other tax aspects of the sale and purchase documentation
