Taxation on Transactions
The team works closely with the transaction specialists of our Corporate Group to develop tax efficient solutions for domestic and cross-border transactions.
We provide tax solutions to:
- Leasing transactions - we review lease structures so as to maximise the tax benefits obtainable.
- Share and asset acquisitions - we advise on all aspects of mergers and acquisitions so as to ensure tax efficient structures are implemented.
- Funding structures for acquisitions - we review funding structures so as to ensure maximum tax relief is obtained for costs of borrowing.
- Venture capital and other private equity funds - we ensure such structures are efficiently structured and compliant with any particular legislative regimes (ie, in the UK VCT, CVS and EIS).
- Transfer pricing issues - we anticipate and deal with issues arising on the pricing of cross border transactions.
- Corporate reconstructions and demergers - working within existing regimes we ensure these are structured tax efficiently.
- Management buy-outs and buy-ins - we advise management on tax efficient remuneration structures and equity participation.
- Optimising reliefs - we review existing loss situations with a view to ensuring maximum utilisation of relief.
- Due diligence - we review tax returns and other materials for vendors and purchasers of businesses.
