Considering a future sale? Start preparing early

Are you prepared?

A potential sale or partial divestment may still be some way off. But when it comes to tax, preparing early can make a significant difference.

Tax matters often come into sharper focus once a transaction and the related due diligence process are already underway. Identifying potential issues earlier gives you more time to address risks, strengthen supporting documentation and prepare robust explanations before questions from potential buyers arise. It can also help identify potential tax opportunities that may be relevant to a future transaction.

Tax Deal Readiness Scan

Our Tax Deal Readiness Scan provides an early overview of the key tax risks and potential upsides relevant to your business and a possible future sale. The scope is tailored to your organisation and can cover areas such as corporate income tax, VAT, wage tax, customs, transfer pricing and Pillar 2. 

By starting early, you can:
•    identify and address potential tax risks before due diligence starts;
•    prepare stronger explanations and documentation;
•    reduce uncertainty and disruption during the transaction process; and
•    identify potential tax value items and opportunities.

Even if a transaction is still several years away, now can be the right time to assess how tax-ready your business is.
