Corporate Restructuring
Corporate restructuring is the reorganization of a company’s existing structures, processes and resources in order to increase the company’s efficiency and competitiveness. There are many reasons for restructuring, ranging from adapting to changing market conditions to reducing costs and optimizing taxes.
A restructuring should lead to financial advantages: offsetting losses and profits within a group of companies to reduce the tax burden and create liquidity. Eliminating companies that are no longer necessary without a time-consuming liquidation. Eliminating the risk of exit taxation. Reducing the tax burden on companies and their shareholders from dividends. Enabling NextGen to participate in the increasing value of investments and other assets, thus optimizing gift and estate tax burdens. Preparing a tax-efficient sale of the company.
In addition to improving cost structures and tax rates, restructuring can also help to increase employee motivation. With clearer roles and responsibilities, employees feel more involved and can better develop their potential.
What Steu-Dat can do for you?
Tax law offers a good toolbox for such cases: corporations and partnerships can be converted into the other legal form in a tax-neutral way and participations can be transferred to holding companies without paying tax. Companies can be divided, split off or merged. The provisions of the German Restructuring Law, the German Restructuring Tax Act and the German Income Tax Act are tricky, and there are also a number of lock-up periods that usually require careful monitoring and compliance for several years.
Careful planning and transparent communication are therefore crucial to gaining the acceptance and trust of all parties involved and ensuring the success of the restructuring.
