Business Acquisitions and Disposals

It is vital for both parties of such a transaction to obtain sound tax advice in order to minimise any risk of excess taxation.

It is essential that both the vendor and purchaser consider the following points:

• How the sale should best be structured
• The vendor must consider whether to sell his shares in the company, or alternatively if the company should sell its trade
• Tax due diligence, warranties and indemnities
• Obtaining advance HM Revenue & Customs clearance where a ‘share for share’ exchange is anticipated
• Taking good legal advice in addition to sound accountancy and taxation advice
