在市场经济体系中，企业破产不仅是市场自然选择和资源优化配置的体现，也是法治化解决企业深层次矛盾、促进产业结构调整和新旧动能转换的重要途径。破产程序的实施，是一个涉及多方面法律问题的复杂过程，它涉及对债务人资产的评估与处置、以有限的偿债资源对各类债权按照顺位安排统一清偿、终止或维持债务人企业经营等一系列问题。这些法律问题的有效解决，是破产程序能否顺利进行的基础。破产实践中，破产涉税问题实际极其复杂，破产程序常因未充分考虑、预计破产涉税问题而导致债权人的合法权益遭受无端的损害，甚至可能对债务人、重整投资人等利益相关方产生不利影响，甚至埋下法律风险的隐患。
事实上，破产程序并不仅仅意味着处理资产和负债的问题，妥善处理破产涉税问题亦是破产程序的关键环节之一。本文将从破产和税务的双重视角，对企业破产程序中的税务问题进行综合分析。我们将探讨破产清算、和解与重整等不同程序中涉税事项的法律性质及其影响，并提供破产程序中税务处理的策略和建议，以期为相关利益方提供全面、深入的指导。

The assignee is responsible for liquidating those assets and distributing the proceeds to the assignor's creditors, pursuant to the priorities established under applicable law. From the perspective of a creditor, there are many important distinctions between an ABC and a bankruptcy case.
