Tax coordination
Transaction tax positions agreed with the authorities in advance.
We coordinate the tax workstream of a transaction: the position taken, the ruling requested, and the interaction between corporate, withholding and personal tax on the seller's side.
The work is done with the client's tax advisors, not instead of them. Our role is to keep the tax position aligned with the commercial terms as they change during negotiation.
Scope of the mandate

Alignment of tax and commercial terms
Typical situation
A negotiated price is agreed, then the structure changes late in the process and the seller's net proceeds move materially.
