When it comes to M&A transactions, businesses can often be eligible for GST refunds – but how do you determine if this is the case, and how much is recoverable?

Tax in M&A: M&A transactions and employer obligations – the perfect storm
Insight Tax in M&A: M&A transactions and employer obligations – the perfect storm
There have been pressure systems gathering momentum along two fronts.

Previously, it was regarded by many deal-makers that employer obligations were quite low in risk. However, multiple enforcement agencies are focusing on unpaid employee entitlements and contract hire labour. The uptick in compliance activity has coincided with growth in the M&A space, leading many to believe there are huge levels of unquantified risk in the market – often not covered by warranty and indemnity insurance.
