Structure your deal for maximum tax efficiency.
The tax outcome of a merger, acquisition or restructuring can make or break the deal, so structuring it efficiently is essential. M&A taxation covers capital-gains implications for sellers, the availability of tax-neutral amalgamation and demerger benefits under the Income Tax Act, carry-forward of accumulated losses, stamp duty, GST implications on business transfers, and the treatment of goodwill. The right structure — whether a share purchase, asset purchase, slump sale, merger or demerger — depends on balancing tax, legal and commercial factors for both parties. We advise on and implement tax-efficient deal structures, model the tax impact, and ensure all filings and approvals are handled so the transaction is optimised and fully compliant.
