Transaction tax

Whether you are looking to increase market share, gain competitive advantage or influence supply chains, mergers and acquisitions (M&A) can be an effective way to supercharge the growth of your organisation. But there can be very complex tax issues to navigate along the way. 

Being across tax issues on an M&A transaction, means you can better plan and negotiate to ensure your deal is structured for an optimal tax position. There may even be tax concessions you are eligible for that you might not be aware of.  

How we help 

Grant Thornton can help you manage all tax aspects of an M&A to ensure compliance and deliver commercial benefits. With our strong experience, we work together to address potential issues by:

• undertaking due diligence 
• implementing tax-effective structuring options and funding strategies 
• managing capital gains and income tax 
• managing stamp duty and GST implications 
• ensuring that transaction documentation, such as Share Sale Agreements, have appropriate tax input 
• executing your transaction from a tax perspective and making sure all the tax obligations are met. 

Successful M&A transactions involve more than good tax advice. Our integrated service incorporates a range of advisors you may need, including corporate finance experts and other business professionals.
