Tax & transactions
Tax is a key consideration for all transactions, whether at the start of the business life or the end. We can assist in all matters arising from transactions.
Acquisition & mergers
- Tax due diligence identify whether your target business has any hidden tax obligations.
- Pre-acquisition tax optimisation; including debt/equity mix, repatriation, and optimising tax carrying values.
- Assistance with system integration for high quality tax reporting.
Exit strategy
- Preparing your business for succession or sale.
- Purpose built ownership structures to protect capital and income flowing from business sales.
- Assistance with sale documentation and the settlement process.
Land transactions
- The taxation of land transactions is a minefield and can involve significant sums, whether it is a suburban subdivision or major redevelopment.
- We have expertise in analysing transactions, recommending changes to initial plans to provide the best results, and working with clients to ensure correct implementation.
- We can assist with obtaining Binding Rulings on land transactions if appropriate or, if you find yourself being asked questions by Inland Revenue, can assist with obtaining the best possible outcome.
