threats of the year. But how do you sift through such a variety of sources to understand which threats are applicable to your business environment – and how do you incrementally improve your defense against these threats?

Multistate businesses face increasing financial burdens and a web
of conflicting rules and complex tax issues – not only because of
the sheer number of taxing jurisdictions, but also because state
and local tax rules are not consistent from one jurisdiction to another.
This complexity is further magnified for a multijurisdictional business
involved in a merger/acquisition transaction.

Whether it’s an acquisition, disposition, spinoff, or reorganization, the
implication of all relevant state and local tax laws must be accounted
as early in the transaction process for either the acquirer or the target.
Sloppy planning or insufficient consideration to state tax implications
of such transactions could result in significant state and local tax
consequences, including lost or severely reduced ability to: 1) attain
tax efficiency; 2) utilize favorable tax attributes; or 3) qualify for tax
exemptions. Companies considering any M&A transaction cannot
afford to ignore the state tax opportunities and implications.

After participating in this webinar, you should be able to:
• Develop a due diligence plan to identify and evaluate tax risk
and the potential tax impact of a M&A business transaction
• Determine the unique issues in a transaction itself and transaction
structuring to mitigate state and local tax consequences
• Apply the best method to integrate the acquired business to ensure
compliance with state and local laws after the transaction occurs
• Describe the critical tax developments and issues governing
state and local M&A transactions in the context of income tax,
sales/use tax and other indirect taxation considerations
