Tax Due Diligence
Tax Due Diligence
Tax due diligence is a vital component of mergers, acquisitions, investments, and corporate restructuring transactions. It provides investors and stakeholders with a comprehensive understanding of a target company’s tax profile, historical compliance, and potential exposures that could affect valuation and deal outcomes.
Independent tax due diligence by Singh Gulati & Associates supports informed decision-making by uncovering hidden risks, quantifying potential tax liabilities, and identifying opportunities for tax optimization prior to the completion of the transaction.
About This Service
Our tax due diligence services encompass a detailed review of historical tax returns, assessments, litigation status, and compliance with applicable direct and indirect tax laws. We examine the accuracy of reported income, tax positions adopted, and the adequacy of supporting documentation maintained by the target entity.
We evaluate potential exposures relating to TDS compliance, transfer pricing, MAT/AMT, exemptions, and pending tax disputes, ensuring that investors have a clear understanding of the risks and liabilities associated with the transaction.
In addition, we identify opportunities for tax optimization, unclaimed incentives, and efficient structuring options to enhance post-transaction tax efficiency. This approach delivers value not only through risk mitigation but also by improving overall deal economics.
By combining strong technical expertise with practical business insight, we deliver clear, actionable due diligence reports that enable clients to negotiate effectively, protect their investments, and remain compliant with regulatory requirements.
