Tax due diligence

It is important to understand the tax position of a target company as the potential tax risks involved can have a significant impact on the decision to proceed with a transaction. A strong overseas network is vital in order to understand the differences in customs and laws in different jurisdictions and their effect on the process.

In conjunction with a global network of Grant Thornton member firms, we provide timely cross-border tax due diligence with final reports in English or Japanese as required.
