Tax matters are an integral part of the M&A landscape - they influence the nature and structure of a transaction and, in many cases, determine whether it proceeds at all.

As part of our transaction tax advisory, we support clients from the earliest stages of the M&A process - well before the parties enter negotiations - through to post-transaction integration.

Our primary objective is to safeguard the client’s interests while also identifying tax-sensitive areas and guiding the entire process in a way that reduces complexity and ensures a seamless execution of the transaction.

In our practice, we have advised on numerous transactions across various industries, including management buyouts, joint venture projects, as well as reorganisations and restructurings involving both mergers and demergers of companies, and the sale/acquisition of enterprises or organised parts of enterprises.

Through collaboration with reputable law firms, accounting firms, and certified valuation experts, we deliver end-to-end support in restructuring processes — addressing not only their tax, legal, and accounting consequences, but also providing clients with access to professional asset valuation services.

It is worth noting that M&A activity is not limited to cooperation (transactions) between two independent parties. It also includes intra-group reorganisations, which - when properly planned and executed - can help companies preserve and optimise capital.

Paczuski Taudul offers a broad range of services related to M&A processes.

Our offer includes, among others:

• tax structuring of transactions (acquisitions, disposals, mergers, demergers, transformations) and transaction financing methods;
• tax due diligence;
