When reporting issues, answer the question so what? What do your findings tell you? Is there a cash tax exposure? Are losses reduced? Will future tax be triggered? Does the target give low priority to tax compliance? Page 16
17 CHECK OF REPORT A good report should... Demonstrate expertise What is the tax authority s views about the issue being raised? Is it common practice for such an issue to arise? Is this a developing area of tax law (grey area)? Do you have any experience of the issue being raised? Make recommendations / give your point of view Consider materiality Depends on size of deal Many minor issues resulting in large exposure tabular reporting? Page 17
18 CHECK OF REPORT Indicators of a bad report Content Unclear messages No quantification of risk or quantum After reading the report the client does not know what to do how to solve problems that have been raised Raise access to information issues that have not previously been discussed with client Discuss problems early with client so no surprises when client receives report Give client enough time to use negotiation strength to get you what you need Raise unsolved problems without recommendations Contain information / detail that is unnecessary Page 18
