Tax issues on insolvency

Introduction

In the current economic crisis, an increasing number of companies are facing financial difficulties and potential insolvency. Unsurprisingly, at such times, tax issues can often be overlooked. This can lead to potential tax risks, lost opportunities and a failure to maximise assets. Correct planning can make a significant difference to the potential tax liabilities and maximisation of tax assets of a company or a group that is facing insolvency.
