Challenge
An Indian conglomerate sought to acquire a European manufacturing entity to expand its global footprint. The transaction involved navigating complex multi-jurisdictional tax implications, transfer pricing concerns, foreign exchange regulations, and post-merger integration challenges across different legal and regulatory frameworks.
Solique’s approach
Solique structured a comprehensive cross-border transaction strategy, optimizing the acquisition structure for tax efficiency. We coordinated with legal and tax advisors across three jurisdictions, managed RBI and FIPB approvals, designed an optimal holding structure, addressed transfer pricing documentation requirements, and created a detailed post-acquisition integration plan covering tax, compliance, and operational aspects.
Outcome
Successfully closed the €50M acquisition with an optimized structure that reduced overall tax burden by 18%. Established a compliant cross-border operational framework and achieved seamless post-merger integration within 6 months. The client has since pursued two additional international acquisitions with Solique's continued support.
