Merger & acquisition

For Asia and especially China the M&A market is still very buoyant.  In addition, increasingly we are seeing investment out of China to other countries. Examples of where we can assist in helping companies and their investors include:

• Working with you to provide tax due diligence.  More importantly, as we are not tied to a CPA firm we can work with an appropriate group who are able to provide tailored financial due diligence services rather than simply providing you with a set template solution.
• Identifying major tax issues, in particular, hidden tax liabilities and deal breakers
• Reviewing the Sale & Purchase agreement from a tax perspective, particularly in relation to the Representation and Warrants section on tax.
• Identifying a tax efficient acquisition structure
• Identifying a tax efficient holding / exit structure
• Post deal restructuring from a tax perspective
• Providing solutions to tax issues identified
