Assessment24th26th August, 2009

Acquisitions: Issues and Techniques in Assessment! We are happy about this

opportunity to host this and are leaving nothing to chance in ensuring that yourstay and other arrangements made are rewarding and stimulating. Please let us

About the Course: This Course is in line with the Departments concerted moves

to deepen its core areas of competencies and expertise towards attaining its goals

of tax revenue and taxpayer service maximization. It seeks to examine what

Mergers and Acquisition deals mean to investors and to the Department by

discussing the forces that drive companies to buy or merge with others, or to split-

off or sell parts of their own businesses. Knowing the different ways in which these

deals are executed will help one know if should cheer or weep when a companyone owns buys another company or is bought by one. And seen against the

backdrop of Mittal Steel acquiring Arcelor, Tatas acquiring Corus and Vodafone

acquiring Essar-Hutchison, Indian M & A deals have come to assume international

ramifications, resulting in International Taxation, Transfer Pricing and Tax Treaty

related issues. These need to be beneficially debated and analyzed. As a

Departmental officer, one also needs to be aware of the tax consequences for

companies and for investors so that understanding dawns in respect of the

accounting, financial and statutory meanders that result from M & A deals. These

will help reduce malpractice, detect income concealment and minimize taxevasion. One also needs to understand from a more holistic viewpoint, how these

impact the various entities and sectors within the national economic matrix, and

what tax angles result from such multiplier effects and need to be investigated and

exploited.

The Course is slated to occupy a timeframe of3 days from 24th August to 26th
