Today, I together with my colleagues from EY Tanzania had the pleasure of attending an insightful workshop on the Fair Competition Act hosted by FB Attorneys at the Serena Hotel in Dar es Salaam. The session offered a comprehensive analysis of the Act, focusing on Unfair Trade Practices, Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A), and Antitrust Law. The session reminded me on the emphasis on tax compliance within the M&A context. Often overlooked, proactive tax planning is essential for a successful transaction. Here's why: Mitigating Tax Liabilities: Unforeseen tax burdens can derail even the most promising M&A deal. Thorough tax due diligence exposes these risks upfront, allowing for informed decision-making. Structuring for Tax Efficiency: A well-structured M&A transaction can optimize the combined post-merger tax profile, maximizing value for both companies. Ensuring a Smooth Transition: Understanding potential tax implications early in the process facilitates a smoother post-merger integration. By prioritizing tax compliance throughout the M&A process, businesses can navigate the complexities with greater confidence and achieve a more successful outcome. #TaxPlanning #MergersAndAcquisitions #DueDiligence #FBAttorneys #FairCompetitionAct
