This may form part of either the overall financial due diligence process, or else it can be treated as a separate exercise. Tax risks represent one of the most significant issues in CIS acquisitions. When we represent the buyer, our role is to identify tax risks related to past violations or aggressive interpretations of the law, to quantify their possible impact on the structure and price of the deal, and to provide advice, as to which actions may potentially mitigate the risk of exposure for the buyer.
Tax due diligence procedures will provide insight into the target’s tax position, analysis of the tax optimization methods applied by the target, and an assessment of the related tax risks.
