Our colleague Gaurav Makhijani (Indian Chartered Accountant) recently spoke with Finance Outlook India about how the tax landscape around Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) in India is evolving. The discussion touched on several key areas that are becoming increasingly important in today’s deal-making environment. Gaurav explained how tax shapes M&A transactions especially cross-border deals. He shares insights on many aspects such as importance of tax due diligence in spotting legacy risks, how carry-forward losses are treated and the different ways deals can be structured to stay tax-efficient. The interview also covered industry-specific challenges including some regulated and key/ important sectors. The discussion also covers why post-merger tax planning is just as important to ensure the structure holds up well in the long run and delivers the expected value for shareholder/ investors.
