Fund Structure & Design

Our Trans-Tasman team is experienced in supporting the development of tax-efficient fund structures that meet all stakeholder requirements (i.e. GP, LP and portfolios) and ensure that each are taxed appropriately over the life of the fund having particular regard to cross-jurisdictional tax regimes, whether it be for a closed ended fund or on a ‘deal by deal’ basis.

Tax Due Diligence

Our team provides the full scale and breadth of tax due diligence services across Australia and New Zealand, with support for other jurisdictions through the network.

Approach can vary from ‘desktop’ issue identification to a pragmatic ‘red flags’ report or a full detailed due diligence report (appropriate for insurance and lending purposes).

Buy & Sell side Tax Structuring

At GreenMount we develop tax efficient buy or sell-side transaction structures that are fit-for-purpose, having regard to your commercial requirements (e.g. facilitation of future bolt on/carve-out transactions, refinancing, profit repatriation and exit considerations).

We work closely with you and your advisors throughout the deal process to ensure the structure is implemented appropriately.

Management Equity Plans

We design and implement tax-efficient management equity plans that meet your business objectives and advise on the associated tax compliance and reporting obligations.

Post Completion/ Implementation

Assistance is provided with implementation matters ahead of formal ‘handover’ to your compliance/general tax advisor:

  • Tax registrations;
  • Tax consolidation (including Tax Sharing and Funding Agreements);
  • Capital gains tax rollover advice;
  • Stamp duty;
  • GST registrations and going concern matters; and
  • Restructure advice.
