Mergers & Acquisitions
Tax plays an increasingly vital role in any merger, acquisition or takeover. Potential liabilities can arise across a whole range of taxes, from corporation tax to PAYE/PRSI, stamp duties, VAT and withholding taxes.
FGS is well placed to advise on these issues and minimise the amount of valuable management time involved in completing the process.

Our tax division advises on:

- Suitable forms of consideration and also on the timing of such consideration
- Incentive schemes for staff retention
- Tax risks arising from the tax history of the target company
- Potential tax-based opportunities
