Cross-Border M&A - Practical Tax Planning from Acquisition to Exit

Introduction

Designed for accountants, corporate tax advisers and in-house M&A teams, this webinar walks through the full tax lifecycle of cross-border acquisitions and reorganisations - from pre-deal structuring to post-deal integration and eventual exit.

It will focus on aligning tax planning with commercial reality, operating within today’s anti-abuse frameworks and preparing documentation that stands up to review.

It will also compare share vs asset acquisition routes, holding-company location and substance, and applies financing, earn-out and indirect-transfer concepts using practical, case-based examples.

What You Will Learn

On completion of this webinar, you will gain practical understanding of how to:

• Compare share and asset acquisitions using a clear tax and commercial scorecard
• Design holding-company chains that balance treaty access, substance, governance and cost
• Integrate anti-abuse considerations (PPT/LOB) into structuring memos and client approvals
• Identify permanent-establishment and dependent-agent risks during integration and ‘Day-1’ operations
• Coordinate cross-border financing, including interest-limitation awareness, anti-hybrid interactions and supportable pricing documentation
• Structure earn-outs and contingent consideration without creating avoidable leakage or timing surprises
• Manage intangible-asset migrations and business restructurings alongside transfer pricing evidence
• Navigate indirect transfer exposure and plan exits (including local exit taxes) with a step plan
• Develop a due-diligence red-flag checklist that anticipates post-deal pain points
• Produce a concise sign-off pack (org charts, purpose statements, minutes, cash authority) that supports and defends the chosen structure
