Tax

Abstract: Abstract Are taxes an important consideration in a corporation fusion or division? The answer is that they usually start as something of only modest importance, like a patch of clouds on a mariner’s distant horizon, but tend to become crucial as the deal moves along. In fact, they often destroy an otherwise viable deal or leave the parties to the deal with responsibility for tax liabilities that might crop up long after the closing. Getting early advice on how taxes are likely to impact the deal can head off these problems. Even then, expect taxes to take center stage for at least some of the later negotiations.
