In a drive for greater expansion, more and more companies are active on various markets at home and abroad. On the one hand, this requires that companies have a forward-looking tax strategy and planning. On the other, fast business decisions and flexible responses are essential.
Our advisory services include the following areas:
We support you with the acquisition and sale of companies and investments as well as mergers and separations in both a national and international context.
Our advice also extends to:
- Development/verification of tax-optimized target structures
- Tax due diligence reviews to evaluate risks and develop concepts for an individual negotiation strategy on tax issues
- Review of clauses in the contracts of relevance for tax purposes
- Communication with the tax authorities during the transaction/M&A or subsequently during a tax audit
Regardless of whether a company is to be traditionally continued by a family member or by a third party, we work together with you to develop a solution which satisfies the family as well as economic, legal and tax requirements.
Besides typical restructuring topics, we devote our attention to tax-oriented topics such as the retention of loss carryforwards or the identification and mitigation of risks from excise duties and transaction taxes.
We obtain an understanding of the economic substance of investments and design financing that suits your needs within an international tax environment.
