Transactional Tax Advice

Our experts were involved in the largest M&A transactions that ever took place in the Czech Republic, and we have exceptional experience when it comes to advising global corporations, commercial and investment banks, but also domestic SMEs, collective investment funds or private investors, with respect to the structuring and implementation of the following types of domestic and cross-border transactions:

• purchase and sale of shares in companies,

• transfers of (parts of) enterprise,

• transfers of sets of assets,

• mergers, demergers, and other types of transformation,

• establishment of joint ventures,

• post-transaction restructurings, and

• changes of tax residency.

Within the context of the above types of transaction, we focus on the following tasks in particular:

• proposing a suitable structure for the transaction, which includes an assessment of the current ownership and financing structure,

• buyer-side and seller-side tax due diligences,

• impact of the above transactions on direct and indirect taxes,

• review of the contractual documentation from tax perspective, also as regards the language of warranties or the mechanism for adjusting the purchase price,

• drafting financial restructuring models,

• proposing acquisition financing alternatives,

• tax structuring of the purchase and sale of assets and companies,

• tax planning as to the various options for future divestments,

• modeling the post-transaction distribution capacity of financial resources,

• analyses as to the most favorable placement of acquisitions within the current ownership structure,

• post-acquisition review of tax issues at target companies or of material transactions,

• reviewing business models and structures, and

• assessment of the accounting consequences of transactions.

Outside the provision of general tax services, TH TAX concentrates on the full integration with legal services when working on a given project.
