Transaction Tax Advisory Services

We understand the complexities of business transactions and the importance of making informed decisions. Our tax advisers provide comprehensive transaction advisory services, offering expert guidance for both buyers and sellers throughout the transaction lifecycle.

Buyside Advisory

We can offer a range of services to prospective purchasers including:

Tax Due Diligence.
Acquisition Structuring – We can assist with the structuring of the acquisition to maximise tax efficiency and avoid pitfalls. We have experience advising on straightforward corporate ‘bolt-ons’ through to complex leveraged buy-outs.
We frequently work with our Corporate Finance team to ensure you receive joined up advice.
Post-completion services – Once the transaction has completed we often work with clients to ensure important post-completion tax actions are undertaken in a timely manner and that any tax issues identified as part of the pre-completion work are dealt with as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Vendor Advisory

We understand that selling a business is one of the most momentous days in an owner-manager’s life and that tax implications and planning are often af the forefront of a seller’s mind. We have significant experience working with private companies, their owners and management teams to deliver on a successful sales process.

Exit readiness planning – Recommended well in advance of a potential transaction, we work with clients to identify any tax opportunities that should be considered ahead of an exit. We also use this process to identify any potential tax concerns or exposures early; doing so not only means sellers are aware of the risks but that the risks can be reduced or eliminated to provide additional comfort to a prospective purchaser and remove unnecessary stress from the transaction process.
Tax Due Diligence.
Vendor Tax Assistance – We have significant experience advising business owners and their management teams on the structure of proposed transactions, helping them understand the tax implications and ensuring that the steps proposed provide the best possible tax outcome for individual sellers.

We frequently write to HMRC requesting necessary tax clearances and have a good track record of positive first-time responses.

We can also provide ‘white space’ disclosure wording for individual tax returns explaining the transaction to HMRC.
