This is the third webinar in a three-part legal series designed to equip supply chain and logistics businesses with timely, practical legal insights — from the fast-evolving landscape of privacy and surveillance compliance, to major employment law reforms reshaping workforce obligations, to the tax complexities of buying or selling a business.
PART 3: TAX CONSIDERATIONS WHEN BUYING OR SELLING A SUPPLY CHAIN OR LOGISTICS BUSINESS
Here's what you need to know.
This webinar is best suited to senior decision-makers and specialists involved in buying, selling, or structuring deals within the supply chain and logistics sector. This includes CEOs, managing directors, business owners and investors, as well as CFOs, finance leaders and tax professionals who assess the financial impact of transactions. It is also highly relevant for legal, compliance and operations leaders — particularly those managing asset-heavy fleets or complex contractor arrangements — who need to understand how tax considerations can materially affect deal value and risk.

ABOUT THIS EVENT
Finalising the purchase or sale of a logistics, transport, warehousing, or supply chain services business often reveals a confronting truth: the tax consequences specific to this industry may not have been fully considered during negotiations. With thin margins, asset heavy operations, and complex contractor and fleet arrangements, overlooking tax implications can materially change the value of the deal.
In this session, Tamara Cardan, Special Counsel from Rigby Cooke Lawyers’ Corporate & Commercial and Tax practices, explores the critical taxation considerations and implications when acquiring or disposing of a business within the supply chain and logistics sector.
