The Tax Due Diligence Red Flag Report

Mergers and acquisitions in Latin America can be exciting opportunities for growth, but they carry hidden risks, particularly related to tax obligations that may not appear in standard due diligence. Many companies inadvertently inherit unrecorded VAT, payroll tax liabilities, or outdated corporate filings, issues that can create significant financial and reputational exposure post-closing.

Here are just a few of the red flags we can help clients with: 

• Unpaid or underreported VAT obligations. Local VAT rules vary widely, and historical noncompliance can create sudden liabilities.
• Payroll tax gaps. Misclassified employees or incomplete reporting can trigger unexpected assessments.
• Corporate registration discrepancies. Missing licenses or unregistered branches can complicate transactions and local compliance.
• Deferred or contingent taxes. Some jurisdictions impose deferred corporate or capital gains taxes that may not appear in standard audits.
• Transfer pricing irregularities. Cross-border transactions within multinational entities may reveal adjustments or penalties if prior filings were inconsistent.

We combine this checklist with a global understanding of tax planning, international compliance, and succession planning considerations. For high-net-worth clients, our approach also integrates asset protection and estate planning elements to prevent tax liabilities from affecting your long-term financial strategies. We provide practical guidance designed to each deal’s unique circumstances.

Navigate Complex Transactions with Confidence

Tax compliance should never be an afterthought. It is a critical component of your strategic growth. Our lawyers help you focus on building lasting relationships that provide consistent guidance and actionable insight, rather than simply addressing isolated issues. We offer a free initial consultation to review your specific transaction, identify potential risks, and recommend strategies that harmonize domestic, cross-border, and corporate compliance considerations.

Whether you are acquiring companies, managing estates with international exposure, or conducting pre-immigration planning, we provide high-contact support designed to adapt to your evolving needs. By blending strategic relationships with global experience, we help you operate with confidence while mitigating your hidden tax exposures, all in a manner that aligns with your broader business and personal objectives.
