Eile Gibson

The Tax Schedule explains the underlying rationale of the key provisions of the tax schedule, and provides updated model long-form and short-form warranties and tax indemnities. These are also included on a disk, so that practitioners can download and adapt the model documents for their own transactions.

The book has been updated to reflect these developments. This edition contains an extended glossary, details of new investor relief schemes and changes in legislation as announced as at 15 September 2016. The intended readership of the book is tax lawyers, tax accountants, corporate lawyers, corporate advisors and finance directors who are involved in the process of the sale of a company.
