Rethinking business and transaction structures during COVID-19

For the fourth installment of our “Tax planning for challenging times” webinar series, our tax experts dive into longer-term tax planning strategies focused on business entities, operations, and transaction planning.

These strategies should be based on a holistic view of the business and its future goals. As a starting point, taxpayers must consider the best use of their assets and facilities, as those items can be the source of tax planning opportunities. A broad range of possibilities exists for opportunistic business restructuring, including changes in tax classification or overall restructuring of legal entities. Changes in business valuation also provide a great opportunity to evaluate succession planning. Finally, we’ll discuss why consideration should be given to the structure and timing of acquisitions — or even exit transactions.

Learning objectives:

• Identify key tax planning opportunities that exist within a current business, from its operations to its overall entity structure.
• Define which longer-term tax strategies your organization could take advantage of to maximize business goals.
• Identify and implement broader tax planning opportunities available for the rest of 2020 and into the future.
