Your eyes are set on target. You know the business will bring about the revenue and synergies that you want. But, have you paid attention to its tax status? Does the deal come with potential tax exposures that you are not prepared for?

To mitigate impacts of disputes that may later arise in respect of the target’s prior years’ tax issues, we can help you identify its historic tax exposures and determine how the issues identified should be dealt with in negotiation and deal execution phases. Through a tax due diligence exercise, you may obtain an understanding of the target’s tax position and be aware of issues early in the transaction process. With our deep expertise in dealing with sizeable M&A deals, we can help you manage the potential tax exposures for your peace of mind.

• >USD 400 million acquisition of mining rights in Western Australia and advice on establishment of a shipping business to transport the iron ore

• >USD 700 million acquisition of U.S.-based and European-based power tools businesses in 18 countries
