Mergers and acquisitions raise complex VAT issues. VAT depends on the nature of the transaction, with mergers potentially being VAT-free and acquisitions generating VAT obligations. International transactions complicate VAT management due to varying tax rules and rates. Foreign companies can optimize their tax burden by leveraging special regimes or exemptions, but must stay informed and rely on local tax experts. Governments are adapting tax policies, and businesses need to integrate tax into their overall strategy to ensure compliance and take advantage of tax benefits.
