Creating and protecting value in a merger, acquisition, disposal, IPO or other refinancing is fundamental. To achieve long-term value, it’s vital to create the most efficient structure possible in terms of ongoing operating model and financing.
PwC TLS’s M&A tax teams work with corporate organisations, private equity, sovereign wealth funds, individuals and family offices, working closely with legal colleagues and PwC's Deals expertise.
We operate on both the seller and buyer sides, providing assistance throughout the entire deal lifecycle: we can contribute to enhancing the value of the company by assessing its Tax Assets in advance, help design the best structure, identify tax risks through Tax Due Diligence activities, review the tax clauses of the acquisition or divestiture contract, and support fund managers in optimizing the taxation of Carried Interest.
Our consultancy extends to post-deal activities, where, if we have operated on the seller side, we assist in the optimal tax management of the "liquidity event", or, if we have operated on the buyer side, in the tax integration within the acquiring group and in any remediation of issues identified during Tax Due Diligence, subsequently supporting the company in ongoing tax activities.
