The prime rationale for a company undertaking a merger or acquisition is to achieve greater market share by gaining access to new markets and new products as well as to eventually increase shareholder value. Yet, many deals fail to fully achieve the anticipated returns. Whether you are involved with buying or divesting a company in China, an internal reorganisation of a corporate structure that includes companies or businesses in China, a change in the equity ownership held by your Chinese partner or your other foreign investor, or planning a joint venture, you will come across regulatory hurdles and tax issues. PricewaterhouseCoopers MAPS teams advise on entry strategies, perform due diligence reviews, advise on how to interpret and deal with issues that come up during negotiations with the other party, advise on how to structure the investment tax-effectively, advise on technology transfers, perform feasibility studies, translate documents, review draft agreements from tax and commercial perspectives, advise on tax planning for the proposed operations, confirm unclear issues with the authorities, and provide general technical support. |
