Many diverse questions may arise when buying or reorganising a company. It is central to be aware of the target company’s fiscal risks and, if needs be, to ensure that the acquirer is entitled to write the acquisition price off. In many cases, it is desirable to set off gains from the target company against interest expenses from acquisition financing.
