On April 16th, we hosted our second webinar in the NL Tax series, diving into a critical topic: ‘Tax Integration after M&A’.

During this engaging session, we explored key Dutch tax considerations and strategies to a successful tax integration after a deal.

Here are the key takeaways that can transform how you approach the Tax function in M&A:

Key Insights

Strategy Awareness: Understand the M&A Strategy and Purchase Price Calculation to identify and utilize value drivers that impacted the Purchase Price, which is the low-hanging fruit in Tax Integration!

Proactive Tax Involvement: Integrate your Tax Function in post merger integration and value creation efforts from the start to utilize all potential. Tax Optimization with EBITDA / cash effect to boost value.

Strategic Tax Governance: Operational changes often create both tax opportunities and risks and the Tax Function is faced with a fast-changing international tax landscape. Building a robust Tax Function post-deal mitigates risk exposure.

Flexibility: Tax Management in distressed M&A requires a different focus, shifting the attention to value retention, risk mitigation and tax collection efforts.

This was just the beginning of an insightful journey, and we’re excited to share more in the coming sessions!
