Tax Due Diligence – safety and security in every transaction

Every business decision, especially those related to mergers, acquisitions or investments, involves tax risks. Tax Due Diligence is a process of in-depth tax analysis of a company to identify potential risks, hidden liabilities and optimisation opportunities. EFEKTA Accounting Office offers comprehensive tax Due Diligence services, providing the reliable information needed to make informed business decisions.

What is Tax Due Diligence?

Tax Due Diligence is a detailed tax analysis of a company aimed at:

• Identifying the tax risks – detection of possible irregularities, tax arrears and hidden liabilities.
• Assessing the regulatory compliance – verifying that the company conducts its accounts in accordance with applicable regulations.
• Understanding the tax structure – analysis of settlement methods, applicable tax credits and burdens.
• Identifying the opportunities for optimisation – identifying areas that can be streamlined to reduce tax liabilities.

When is it worth conducting Tax Due Diligence?

Tax Due Diligence is indispensable in situations such as:

1. Mergers and acquisitions
   An acquisition of a company also carries the risk of assuming its tax liabilities. Due Diligence allows a company’s tax position to be accurately assessed.
2. Selling shares or a company
   For the seller, it is a way to present the tax situation fairly and for the buyer, it is a guarantee of an informed investment.
3. Restructuring a company
   This process requires a thorough tax analysis to identify the possible risks and benefits of transformation.
4. Investor entry
   Before making an investment decision, investors require full transparency, including on taxes.
