Interim Tax Measures for Court-Free Amalgamation
Amalgamation has no legislative interpretation in the New CO. Generally, it refers to a legal process by which the undertaking, property and liabilities of two or more companies merge and their shareholders become the shareholders of one amalgamated company.
On the effective date of an amalgamation, each amalgamating company ceases to exist and the amalgamated company succeeds to all the property, rights and privileges, and all the liabilities and obligations, of each amalgamating company.
