Mergers and Acquisitions Tax Advice

Mergers and acquisitions, together with other business restructurings, are an important method of developing your business and ensuring that it works as efficiently as possible.

A merger is where two or more existing businesses all transfer their trade into a single entity to produce a combined trade for the future. The aim is to retain the current client base, whilst combining administrative and production costs, giving increased profitability to the overall structure.
