Tax

Tax is often a significant issue on a restructuring, with the potential either to destroy value or to add to it. Our tax specialists are a key part of our restructuring team. Issues that often arise include:

  • the potential for unexpected tax on debt waivers (including ‘unintentional’ waivers);
  • secondary tax liabilities (ie tax liabilities that are primarily the responsibility of one person but that can be assessed on another);
  • preserving tax losses in the surviving business; and
  • the tax effects of enforcing security at different levels in a group.
