Key considerations include:
- Ensuring optimal utilization of capital gains tax reliefs during business sales.
- Managing complexities associated with earn-outs and deferred considerations, which if not properly structured, may lead to unexpected tax liabilities.
- Addressing tax implications related to deferred considerations structured as debts or other financial instruments.
- Exploring opportunities, under specific criteria, to transfer shares to an employee ownership trust without incurring capital gains tax liabilities, benefiting both owners and employees.
