Business today is under more pressure than ever to deliver better, lasting results for stakeholders. At KPMG, we think like an investor, looking at how opportunities to buy, sell, partner, fund or fix a company can add and preserve value. Today’s deals do not happen in a vacuum. So from your business strategy to your acquisition strategy, your plans for divestments or for raising funds, or even your need to restructure, every decision must be made in light of your entire business, your sector, and the global economy.
We can help companies understand processes, avoid pitfalls and seize opportunities of deals. We understand the practical impact of tax developments and when we spot opportunities, we know how to act on them to benefit stakeholders.
Our Tax professionals are commercially minded and deal-hardened and understand the mechanics of acquisition and disposals in a competitive environment – they know how to identify and advise on the material tax exposures in a transaction and to develop deal structures that appropriately address the tax implications.

Why tax-efficient mergers and acquisitions matter
Companies with global ambitions cannot afford to ignore the opportunities for possible growth offered by mergers, acquisitions and disposals. But if these transactions are to create real value, it is important that the tax implications of each deal are dealt with from the onset. This is especially important in cross-border deals, where differing regulations and business cultures need to be reconciled in order to reveal the risks and opportunities of a transaction.
Similarly, private equity seeking to increase return on investment cannot afford to ignore tax. Recent trends show that M&A transactions have become more international and deal volumes have increased tremendously. Highly-leveraged transactions allow for big ticket deals, particularly within private equity market.
