Description

What are the legal and tax implications of the different financing alternatives available to corporations? Are all the different methods of profit distribution from a company equally tax effective? What are the different strategies available to a takeover bidder and when should they be used? How should a corporate reorganisation be structured? This subject will examine these and similar questions, relating to the interaction between legal and tax questions in corporate governance, through a series of case studies and simulations.
