The team

National Federal Tax Services (NFTS) is a national practice within Deloitte Tax LLP made up of multiple tax service offerings, including Transaction & Integration Services (T&IS). The T&IS practice advises businesses and their investors on tax matters associated with integration, divestment, joint ventures, bankruptcy emergence, public equity offerings, and legal entity realignment.

The goal of PMI is to deliver appropriate tax consulting and compliance services to companies involved in large mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, and other restructuring transactions. Specifically, they assist clients on the following matters of taxation:

• Those resulting from the transaction (such as transaction costs and attribute limitations).
• Departmental operations (e.g. combined financial accounting, tax department assimilation, or tax ops stand-up).
• Those arising from synergy capture and business or process changes (e.g. Day 1 Readiness integration, legal entity rationalization, roadmaps, project plans).
• Members of the T&IS team also provide stock basis and Earnings & Profit (E&P) analysis for companies that are restructuring, disposing of unwanted subsidiaries, making strategic acquisitions using both cash and stock, spin transaction, worthless securities deductions, or contemplating debt restructuring.
