Pre-investment tax assessment is an analysis of all tax aspects of the business, including the assessment of the current tax burden, the status of calculations with the budget and the relations with the tax authorities.
The purpose of due diligence is to identify potential tax risks, in particular, the company’s failure to meet tax obligations or possible claims from the state authorities, as well as their monetary assessment and recommendations for minimization. Thus, you can include such risks in the transaction amount.
In practice, tax due diligence covers the most significant taxes, namely income tax, VAT, personal income tax, land tax and property tax. Our company also has extensive experience in assessing all local taxes, including environmental tax, land rents, special water use levies and more.
