Tax Accounting in Mergers and Acquisitions 2011 (M&A - U.S.)

Available: October 2010

Author: Glenn R. Carrington

Tax Accounting in Mergers and Acquisitions gives in-depth, practical coverage of today's key issues in corporate acquisitions, dispositions, reorganizations, and restructurings from a transactional perspective. It will help your client:

  1. Decide if the transaction should be taxable or nontaxable.
  2. Structure the deal for the best results-stock or asset acquisition.
  3. Achieve desired business objectives.
This book considers the tax accounting implications of structuring and restructuring transactions including those described in Code 351 (Transfer to Corporation Controlled by Transferor), 338 (Certain Stock Purchases Treated as Asset Acquisitions), 381 (Carryovers in Certain Corporate Acquisitions), 721 (Nonrecognition of Gain or Loss on Contributions to a Partnership), and 1001 (Gain or Loss on Disposition of Property).

In addition, it describes some of the most common types of accounting method exposure items that arise during the course of due diligence and some of the alternatives for mitigating exposure to the buyer. Furthermore, it describes the most significant anti-abuse rules that prevent taxpayers from unreasonably taking advantage of these provisions. Finally, it addresses some of the pitfalls that taxpayers should take into account in structuring transactions. In addition to updates of all rulings, cases and legislation, the 2010 edition contains a new chapter on Bankruptcy.
