Businesses today face greater pressure than ever to deliver sustainable, long-term value for stakeholders. At KPMG, we approach each opportunity with an investor’s mindset, evaluating how decisions to buy, sell, restructure, can create and preserve value. Modern deals don’t happen in isolation; they are shaped by your overall business strategy, sector dynamics, and the global economic landscape. Whether it’s refining your acquisition strategy, planning divestitures, raising capital or restructuring. You would need to navigate through the complex tax considerations, every decision must align with your broader objectives and the wider market.
To accurately assess the true value of a transaction, it's crucial to understand the historical tax risks linked to the business. To succeed in a transaction, you need to evaluate and quantify the potential for future outcomes. In many cases, tax considerations will be a critical factor in deciding whether to move forward with the current deal.
Our M&A tax practice is dedicated to maximizing value for stakeholders. We offer a comprehensive range of M&A tax services designed to quickly identify key risks and opportunities arising from transactions. This can enhance the bottom line of a merger, acquisition, disposition, joint venture, IPO, restructuring, or refinancing.
Whether you're setting up new operations or joint ventures, considering or integrating an acquisition, or planning to exit a foreign market, KPMG has a global network of professionals we can call upon to provide clients with local knowledge and experience wherever in the world they do business.
