Nobody likes surprises when it comes to risk in their business or investments.
As companies achieve scale and expand internationally, there
are many compliance related issues that begin to hit the radar. Unfortunately,
tax issues frequently are not addressed until there is already a potential
prior period liability or the company has not optimized its growth structure.
These issues are especially acute for companies approaching an IPO or acquisition.
Tax partners Malcolm Ellerbe, Jon Davies, and David Sordello
of Armanino LLP’s Silicon Valley office work with many public and private
high-growth technology companies to identify and resolve these issues.
Attend the webinar Reducing Tax Risk for the High Growth Company and learn:
- How to determine whether your company or portfolio should pay attention to sales tax:
Fast growth technology companies, especially software-as-a-service and
other cloud service providers, may be unaware of their growing prior
period sales/use tax liabilities if they are not collecting in the more
than 15 states currently taxing the cloud. Unfortunately, the company
frequently is not aware until there is a liquidity event on the horizon,
potentially affecting valuations. It may be time to “clean up the past”
and automate ongoing compliance.
- International Tax for Expanding Tech Companies: Most
growth stage technology companies have many choices to make about how
and where to hire employees, optimize company structure, transfer
pricing, VAT, compensation/stock options, cash repatriation, etc. Again,
better to plan ahead than react to surprises.
- Other Tax Considerations:
Growth-stage companies can increase their tax department’s efficiency,
by streamlining their tax provision and compliance process, making the
most of limited in-house resources. These companies also should know how
much their Net Operating Losses are worth, the impact of stock
compensation, and other issues that could affect company valuation.
This event is free of charge, so feel free to forward to your colleagues!
