Tax Due Diligence

Tax due diligence is a critical step in mergers, acquisitions, investments, and restructuring exercises. It provides investors and stakeholders with a clear picture of a target company’s tax exposures, compliance history, and potential contingencies that may impact deal value.

Independent tax due diligence enables informed decision-making by identifying hidden risks, quantifying liabilities, and highlighting opportunities for optimization before the transaction is finalized.

About This Service

Our tax due diligence services involve a comprehensive review of historical tax filings, assessments, litigation status, and compliance with direct and indirect tax laws. We analyze the accuracy of reported income, tax positions taken, and the robustness of documentation maintained.

We assess exposure in areas such as TDS compliance, transfer pricing, MAT/AMT, exemptions, and pending tax disputes. This ensures that investors are fully aware of potential risks and liabilities associated with the target company.

We also evaluate opportunities for tax optimization, unclaimed benefits, and structuring possibilities to enhance post-transaction efficiency. This adds value not only by mitigating risks but also by improving deal economics.

By combining technical expertise with practical business insights, we deliver clear, actionable due diligence reports that empower clients to negotiate effectively, safeguard investments, and ensure regulatory compliance.
