Tax-optimized Business Transactions
An essential legal focus of business transactions lies upon tax law and is closely associated with the implementation under corporate law. The handbook covers all important sequential steps beginning with the LoI up to the closing of the transaction and goes into detail with respect to pre-acquisition restructuring and the impact of leveraged acquisitions. With numerous examples and practical tax advice regarding relevant tax regulations the handbook focuses on business valuation, the transfer of shares in corporate entities, partnerships and business units, company’s succession, aspects of the debt financing and the tax-optimised SPA drafting. All developments of the Corporate Tax Reform 2008, the German Reorganisation Tax Act, the German Annual Tax Act 2008 and the German Act to Modernise the Law Governing Private Limited Companies have already been implemented.
