Doing M&A in Asia Pacific: Tax traps and structuring opportunities
14-06-2021
Seeking opportunities outside their country of origin is a natural part of the growth journey for many businesses. By opening up new markets and connecting with new customers, businesses can increase their sales and profits, while spreading their risk by not having to rely on any one single market.

Conducting business in different countries and regions presents its own set of challenges – commercial contexts vary and regulatory environments can be difficult to understand and even harder to keep up with as they change.
That is why we have published this study: to shed light on tax risks and opportunities related to mergers and acquisitions in Asia Pacific. We provide insight based on our experts' experiences that covers due diligence tax structuring in the region and the tax risks frequently encountered that can threaten the success of deal-making and subsequent integration processes in these fast-growing markets.
We reveal the main traps are related to transfer pricing and the use of tax losses, though such transactions also benefit from several tax incentives such as amortisations of assets and goodwill, and tax exemptions applicable to mergers or demergers. In doing so, we highlight what businesses can expect from conducting deals in the region, the regulatory challenges they are likely to come up against, and how they can avoid the tax traps while making the most of the structuring opportunities.
