Archived webcast - Regional M&A tax update 

7 May 2008 (Wednesday)

With more M&A deals likely to be driven out of emerging markets such as China, the Middle East and India, M&A activities in Asia are likely to continue on an uptrend.  Strategic and financial buyers understand from their experience in more mature markets that tax can create significant value to a transaction.  On the flip side, tax liabilities relating to transfer pricing, permanent establishments, VAT/GST, unreported salaries and benefits, and gains from previous transactions that are potentially taxable can drastically reduce the enterprise value after the acquisition.  In some cases, many of these problems only arise years later.
  
In this webcast, our tax M&A partners shared their insights on the common tax risks to look out for, common debt planning techniques and ways to structure for a potential exit.  Investors can find out how best to restructure the target and reorganise their business affairs to optimise their tax position.
