BDO Talks Transactions: Key M&A Tax Planning Considerations
Thursday, May 14, 2026
12:00 – 1:30 PM ET
1.5 CPE credit in Taxes (TX)
Deal activity is regaining momentum as financing conditions improve and valuations stabilize, but new tax developments can affect transaction timing and structure. Join our webcast for a practical, deal-focused discussion of the latest M&A tax planning considerations. Our roundtable panel will spotlight new opportunities arising from changes to the qualified small business stock rules in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and discuss emerging issues in sell side diligence. We will also cover state and local tax and international considerations, including when a Section 338(g) election makes sense for a foreign target. Walk away with a concise set of planning actions as deal pipelines build.
After this session, participants should be able to:
- Analyze the current deal space and understand the latest M&A tax planning considerations.
- Evaluate the opportunities to use qualified small business stock as a tax planning strategy.
- Discuss key international tax planning options when engaging in cross-border deals.
