Acquisitions, disposals & reorganisations

Overview

It is vital that groups undertaking structural change (e.g. acquisitions, disposals, reorganisations) have a clear and comprehensive strategy to address legal, tax and commercial challenges.

Foreign ownership restrictions, licencing requirements, Vietnamese taxes on sales and group reorganisations and foreign exchange controls represent just a few of the specific challenges faced by groups undertaking a strategic transition which involves Vietnam.  

AA’s International Tax and Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) teams can help your company identify and analyse the potential legal, tax and commercial effects of transactions, thereby enabling you to focus on the business opportunities, barriers, and risks associated with the transition.

We can work with you to

• Identify and assess potential business opportunities for tax efficiency, domestic and foreign;
• Provide advice and support on foreign ownership restrictions, licencing and registration requirements;
• Perform acquisition and vendor due diligence, working closely with AA’s M&A team;
• Assist with treasury, foreign exchange controls and remittance related matters such as tax efficient financing; and
• Provide advice on capital assignment profits tax (and other taxes) on the transfer of shares and the use of tax treaties.
