In today’s world, regulatory and compliance demands on businesses are many and varied. The need for accurate accounting and tax records that comply with the multitude of rules and regulations applied in different jurisdictions by different authorities can place a great pressure on limited in-house resources.
Very often, companies are confronted with compliance issues (such as late or non-filing of statutory accounts or tax returns leading to penalties and additional taxes, etc.) during the due diligence phase or the post-deal integration.
If e.g. a purchaser carrying out a due diligence discovers that the target has fallen behind and regulatory returns are not fully up-to-date, then the entire deal can be at risk. The purchaser may want a discount on the purchase price to reflect the risk element of the uncertain tax position or require warranties, etc.
