Tax Implications of Buying and Selling a Business

The manner in which business ownership is transferred has certain tax implications. How the sale is structured (i.e. stock sale, asset sale or merger) can positively or negatively impact its after-tax consequences. In many cases, a particular sale structure may be good for one party and bad for the other. Consequently, this often plays a significant role in sale negotiations. At Momkus McCluskey, LLC, our attorneys have a keen understanding of all the tax implications involved in buying and selling a business. We assist our clients in structuring a deal that will best work in their favor.
