Mergers and acquisitions (M&As) are complex by any yardstick. From emotions to financials, to business structures.
These transactions are driven not only by commercial objectives but also by tax considerations that can significantly affect deal value, cash flows, and risk exposure. Poor tax structuring or overlooked tax issues can lead to unexpected liabilities, loss of tax benefits, or even deal failure.
For the first time, the Singapore Chartered Tax Professionals brings together the experts from both Baker Tilly and BDO Singapore – Accredited Tax Advisors (Income Tax) Bernard Yu, Baker Tilly’s Head of Tax and Wong Sook Ling, BDO’s Tax Advisory Executive Director – to dissect this complex mammoth to bring participants into the depths of key issues.
This in-person session provides participants with practical insights to the key tax issues commonly encountered in M&A transactions. Using a deal-lifecycle approach, the course explains how tax considerations arise from pre-deal structuring through completion.
Designed for professionals who are new to M&A tax or who wish to strengthen their fundamentals, this programme focuses on real-world concepts rather than technical legislation, equipping participants with the ability to identify tax risks, understand common deal structures, and engage more effectively with tax advisors during M&A transactions.
As every M&A is unique, take this opportunity to share your perspectives and join in the discussion at the end on the myriad of issues in a M&A and the corresponding tax treatments and implications involved.
