An indirect tax and acquisition checklist

Indirect tax risks are prevalent throughout the entire M&A and integration process. Here are some of the leading practices, lessons learned, and perspectives to keep in mind so that they do not become stumbling blocks:

  • Set up a project charter that will take effect as of the very first due diligence activities.
  • Validate due diligence findings and define priorities.
  • Make an indirect tax integration plan and ensure that the right sponsors provide buy-in.
  • Map out the current state upon acquisition and identify key risk areas, opportunities, and people in the organization acquired.
  • Jointly validate and refine the integration plan and develop a road map to success.
