Whether buying a company, selling a company, succession planning or in preparation for structuring (company acquisition, company transaction) - assessing the tax situation of an objective (tax due diligence) is a key factor to determine a transparent (purchase/sale) price. As part of our investigation activities in accordance with our client, we identify significant risks (risk assessment) and determine the scope for consideration in contract negotiations for a transparent delimitation of risks between the contracting parties.
Our investigative activities can include or be limited to tax types (e.g. income tax, VAT, withholding tax), periods and causes (commercial balance sheet / tax balance sheet, tax returns, assessments, tax audits or transaction history) as required. Through our careful examination and assessment of the risks, we provide you with a comprehensive picture of the tax situation of the respective object (e.g target company).
