Tax

Forward Thinking. Global Mindset. Adding Value.

Today's unprecedented economic challenges are forcing companies to rethink the way they do business. To meet these new challenges, many organizations are seeking a different type of tax advice.

"To be successful in the face of the unprecedented changes we are seeing in the business environment, we cannot focus solely on providing the highest quality tax services, that’s a given. The true differentiator for KPMG in this new world of tax is our people. Our modern tax professionals demonstrate that they can think beyond the present and see beyond borders, as they work with clients to deliver long-lasting value."

Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A)

KPMG's Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) tax professionals have both the global perspective and the local tax law knowledge needed to help facilitate a merger or acquisition. Specific services include:

  • Due Diligence: Careful due diligence helps apprise clients of the potential risks and benefits associated with a particular transaction. We base our investigations on an understanding of our clients' strategy and business goals so we can help identify the particular tax exposures that will be addressed.
  • Acquisition Tax Planning: Our team can help lay the groundwork for an acquisition, providing tax-efficient planning, as well as traditional tax due diligence on the prospective company, its group members, or the parties involved in a joint venture.
  • Disposition Tax Planning: While also encompassing tax due diligence and transaction planning, this set of services focuses on the particular characteristics of a disposition. We can help ascertain the potential tax issues that may arise upon the sale or other type of disposition of all or part of a business. We can help clients address a variety of issues, including the retention of certain assets, debt placement, and a tax-efficient method for disposition.
  • Services Related to Troubled Companies: Our M&A Tax professionals have helped clients at virtually every phase of a difficulty, including layoffs and shutdowns, debt negotiations, bankruptcy petitions, and liquidations.
