About this market

Market context

M&A Tax in California involves advising on the state and local tax implications of mergers, acquisitions, dispositions, and corporate restructurings for businesses operating within or acquiring entities in California. This includes navigating complex rules related to California's corporate income tax, franchise tax, and property tax regimes that can significantly impact transaction structuring and valuation.

California has a complex tax landscape for M&A, primarily driven by its high corporate income tax rate (currently 8.84%) and the application of unitary combined reporting laws. Transactions frequently trigger reassessments for property tax purposes under Proposition 13 if there is a 'change in ownership' of real property, sometimes requiring Form BOE-100-B. Additionally, structuring must consider sales and use tax implications on asset transfers and potential nexus issues for out-of-state acquirers entering the California market.

  • High volume of tech and biotech M&A activity
