There are times when it makes sense for a business combination to take place. At other times, it makes as much sense to separate business interests. If done correctly, substantial income tax savings can result.

M & A (mergers and acquisitions) is the short name given to a wide range of business combinations and separations. You plan these deals because of economic benefits you expect to derive. Making deals less taxable, or tax-free, is our part of the transaction planning. In many instances, changing the form of a particular transaction, without changing the overriding economic elements, can lead to substantial tax savings.

At CRB, our tax professionals work with you to lessen the tax bite taken by the IRS. Planning up front helps reduce the income taxes otherwise payable.
