Description

The new tax law significantly impacts mergers and acquisitions, requiring counsel and advisers to reconcile the new provisions with negotiating and structuring M&A transactions. The tax-related aspects of M&A transactions require careful analysis and due diligence to avoid unintended tax liabilities for buyers and sellers.

The intent of several provisions in the new tax bill is to raise revenue, with some of them having a particular impact on M&A activities. Specifically, the limitations on the deductibility of interest, the limitations on the use of NOLs, a required withholding tax on the purchase price paid in certain transactions, the imposition of the transition tax, and other factors may impact the structuring, pricing, and negotiation of an M&A transaction.

Listen as our panel discusses the complex tax laws impacting M&A transactions and best practices and tips for structuring M&A transactions post-tax reform.
