Tax due diligence is the process of conducting a thorough investigation into an entity’s or individual’s tax affairs to identify potential liabilities, risks, and compliance gaps. This assessment typically precedes a transaction, such as an acquisition or investment, or is performed to ensure ongoing regulatory adherence. It involves reviewing financial records, tax returns, and operational structures. The objective is to obtain a comprehensive understanding of tax exposures.
