Tax due diligence protects buyers and sellers in M&A, investments, and restructuring — surfacing hidden liabilities before they become post-closing surprises. PJRJ reviews direct tax, GST, TDS, and payroll compliance to quantify exposures and inform deal pricing, indemnities, and holdbacks.
Who it's for
- Private equity and strategic acquirers evaluating Indian targets
- Sellers preparing for exit and wanting to fix issues pre-process
- Investors conducting red-flag reviews on growth-stage companies
- Promoters restructuring group entities or demerging divisions
Deliverables
- Tax DD scope memo aligned to transaction timeline
- Review of returns, assessments, notices, and open proceedings
- GST reconciliation and ITC risk assessment
- TDS and payroll compliance review
- DD report with quantified exposures and remediation recommendations
Our approach
- 1Align scope with deal team — materiality thresholds and red flags
- 2Request structured data room documents and management representations
- 3Interview finance team and review correspondence with authorities
- 4Quantify contingent liabilities with low/medium/high scenarios
- 5Present findings in investor-ready format within deal deadlines
We have supported transactions from SME acquisitions to multi-crore deals — our DD reports are concise, quantified, and actionable for lawyers and deal partners, not padded academic exercises.
Tax due diligence is conducted for targets across Delhi NCR and India, with virtual data room review and on-site management meetings as required.
