Tax law is complex and every effort has been made to ensure information is current, correct and clearly expressed.  Before pursuing deals, most careful business players spend time on these tax issues as a part of pre-acquisition planning and profiling the ideal target. Thinking ahead about the tax consequences of corporate structure, or the optimal time to make a planned stock or asset transfer, puts one in a stronger position once negotiations start. Understanding the key issues involved help sellers maximise their after tax proceeds, and buyers to minimise their net costs and better positions the new company emerging from the deal for success.

Corporate tax rates are on a global downtrend as governments compete for the investment dollar. On the other hand, governments also recognise that they need to protect their tax base. To this end, their response has been to build more complex rules to retain what they view as their fair share of profits.
