What is Section 338(h)and how can it help sellers and buyers get a deal done?

June 16, 2023 by Michael Shea PA

This means that the purchasing corporation can treat the transaction as if it had acquired the assets of the target corporation, resulting in potential tax benefits such as stepped-up basis in the assets and the ability to deduct any resulting goodwill or intangible asset amortization.

Successful acquisitions are often driven by a combination of financial considerations and the potential for strategic growth, making it imperative to assess both strategic and market value when evaluating potential targets.

In an hour you really do not have time to go into the nuance of the complexity of the process but in short. You plan with the end in mind, work backward considering a myriad of variables in a fluid and dynamic environment prioritizing what “kills ya first” to achieve the outcome desired. Here it is in a far more formal and detailed manner.
